    Show different data labels to data on chart

    Hi all

    I am sure this is quite an easy question to answer, but I can't work out how to do it and have a deadline to meet! I have a set of data from which I need to produce a number of charts. I have completed most of the task, but can't see how to complete the final request. To give some background, a question was asked of all staff. Staff are split into teams, I have eleven teams (plus "no team stated") to consider. Some teams are considerably bigger than others - the largest has over 1,500 staff members, the smallest has 1. The question they were asked has three possible answers. I need to present a chart which shows the percentage of staff who answered in a particular way, but with a data label appended which shows the actual number of staff in the team. I have attached a workbook which I hope shows this more succinctly than I can describe in words. From that workbook, the chart I need to show is Chart A, but with the data labels in Chart B. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Ed

    It's not quite clear what you are expecting.

    Are you saying for instance that the first column bar in Chart A which currently shows 49.18% as the data label should show 30 - being the label for the first column bar in chart B?

    Hi Richard and thank you for the reply. Yes, that's what I'm trying to achieve and what I've been asked to provide. The end users want to be able to see the size of the cohort at the same time as the percentage giving answer C (as you know, 100% of 1 person isn't really a very valuable statistic!). Chart B and Chart C in my example are pretty much irrelevant really, they're just there to show the numbers.
