How can I make an excel 2013 chart with bars that compare one FY to the next FY with the percent difference in a bubble above the two bars.

i.e. First number is FY17 (10.00) second is FY18(9.91) (.......added for spacing)
The (-8.6) is in a bubble with arrows from 10.00 to 9.91.


-8.6%.................. +.15
10.00 9.91.............9.50 9.65.................10.30................10.65
Q1.........................Q2.......................Q3..................Q4

I have a picture but I don't know how to attaché it
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
I don't have bubbles, the data labels have rectangular borders. I used methods only available in Excel 2013 and later. Bubbles instead of rectangles are possible, but a lot more work. I'd have to teach myself a new method to work around Excel defaults.

Because bars and columns are so often used interchangeably, I made both types of charts. If one of them is OK, post back with your preference. I'll help you create the chart.
