Can the data in chart change itself to be percentages & number
Can the data in chart change itself to be percentages & number ie, axis changing the format itself. i am trying to present a dynamic chart and trying to show both sales and % sales in same column chart (based on a drop down option)… is this possible?
This is how I read the question:

Is this possible? Well see if you can do it. If you can, then let me know how you did it in the comments below. If you couldn’t do it, let me know what part gave you trouble. I will post my answer on Monday.
Here your data set. Copy and paste it into your own spreadsheet and give it a try:
A | B | C | D | E | F | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Choose: | Percent | ||||
2 | Revenue | % | ||||
3 | Qtr 1 | $ 17,055 | 11.8% | |||
4 | Qtr 2 | $ 30,926 | 21.3% | |||
5 | Qtr 3 | $ 59,987 | 41.4% | |||
6 | Qtr 4 | $ 36,972 | 25.5% | |||
