    Thumbs up Graph Actual Percent with Suggested Percent

    I have a spreadsheet with suggested List % vs Actual %
    What would be the best way to graph this data and how?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi jaytaylor,

    a clustered column chart would be a good approach. Select A1 to C15, then click Insert - Column chart - clustered column chart.

    teylyn,

    Thanks for the fast answer. I did that and it works but I need to format it to show the percentages in the right format, preferrably by increments of .10

    I attached the example.xlsx update so you could see what I was seeing.

    Thanks

    If you format all the cells in the range C2:D15 the axis will display %s

    Adjust the Major value if you want to see alternative increments.

    just change the number format of the Y axis to %.

    Set the Major unit of the axis to 0.001 and the max value to 0.12 or thereabouts.
