Percentages Legends in Column or Bar Chart in Excel

This post is written to get percentage in Bar/Column chart. For example

Consider following table












If we plot this into Column chart then we get following















If we see data labels then we get following options

















In general option provided by excel, one can not determine percentage contribution of one zone. One can not get below chart with provided Excel features

















Now I will teach you, how to make bar or column chart with percentage.

Step 1: Calculate percentage against Zones












Step 2: Click on Data label in chart i.e. Click on value 20,000 in chart. You will see all data labels are selected.
Step 3 : Now again click on data label and you will see that only one data label is selected
Step 4 : Now click on formula bar and give reference to data cell where percentage value is calculated





Step 5 : Now repeat this for all column and you will get below chart 





This is not hardcoding of values. If you change contribution of zones then chart will automatically change percentage in it.
