    How to show a ratio (13:1) graphically

    Hi there,

    I am trying to show a ratio graphically in excel 2010. I can't figure out the best approach to take. I have 2 types of ratios over 3 years. Can someone give me a design idea for the displaying ratios graphically?

    Please see the below picture for what I'm trying to graph. I now have 3 years of data.

    Thanks so much for any and all ideas. I'm stumped.

    How about 100% stacked column chart?

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    would give you left side of the ratio. 1 would be the right side.

    So for 15.6:1, you have two cells one with 15.6 and other with 1. With 100% Stacked column, you can then visualize the ratios.
    Regards,

    Thanks Vandan.

    Would you mind telling me what the layout of the spreadsheet would look like? I understand the formula, but don't get the layout. Sorry to be s little high maintenance.
