Dynamic chart axis format (Numbers and Percentages)
Hi!
R5zkdDR.jpg
As you can see on Before and After. a value in cell B4 can be selected from the dropdown list. Some of the ratios are percentages and others are numbers. I want the chart to adopt the changes in the formatting. I have mannually formatted the secondary axis to display percentages in the After sheet. I want the chart to dynamically change its formatting of the axis.

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
Remember to desensitize the data.

Hi,
Can you not format the Axis as percentage?
1. Right Click on the Axis
2. Format Axis
3. Go down to "Numbers" on the Axis Options tab
4. Select "Percentage" from the Category dropdown
My axis changes as I change the ratio from drop down list. If I select current ratio it should display 1.96 not 196%. I want it to dynamically change according to my selection.Originally Posted by cbatrody
I guess you would have to define 'named ranges' to achieve what you are looking for.

Hope this will help.
PS. I have worked in Beforesheet.
Thank you so much shukla.ankur281190. May I know why you have multiplied by 10. Since you have multiplied by 10, the graph does not represent the correct values. For example, current ratio suppose to be 1.37, but the graph represents 13.7
Dividing by 10 means to create difference between numbers and percentage value.
you will have to change C4 formula as below.

And do changes in formatting as number is supposed to come according pre fixed digit
[<1]##%;[>1]0.0,
Now is it possible to add a third format? While numbers, percentage and currency? Thanks, John
