    Change Legend to Percentage

    I created a stacked chart with revenue on the vertical axis, week on the horizontal axis, and the each data stack are the % probability. I.E., There's $5M in revenue with a 50% probability of closing, and so on.

    How do I change the legend to show 50%, instead of .50?

    Thanks

    Click on the axis to select it. Then right click on it and select the format axis option. Then use NUMBER at the bottom of the menu.

    I tried that. I don't have that option.

    The chart is linked to a pivot table. Is that my problem? I formatted the pivot table to %s, but it's not transferring over.

    You are formatting the legend, not the axis.

    I'm trying to format the Legend. Are you saying I format the Legend by formatting the axis?

    Thanks for the help

    That's not what I envisioned at all. In this case, try formatting the values in the source data itself.
