I made these Bar Charts for me to get a visual representation of tire wear... but the percentage space is not to scale with it's number.. ie... On the first top left red and green bar, the Red 11% is taking up more space than the Green 89%. I want the red section of the first bar to take up 11% of the bar.

I made these with the =series()

What have I done wrong... or need to do to make it "scaled"?

Thanks.

Stand down everyone, I got it sorted. It was just a "glitch".

Hi Lee,

I'm no expert but here you go. Click on the white box containing all the bars and 3 squares pop up. Then Play about with the menu that pops up. I think "Data Labels" will do for you?
