Hi Guys,

I'm trying to represent a proportion of a column made up of a second measure on a normal Column Chart. For example if a product was offered 70% of the time and 85% of these products were relevant, I would have 1 single column with a value of 70% and then 85% of this column would be one colour and the other 15% would be another.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Given that another go but it just stacks the 2 values on top of each other. I need it to work almost like a Pie chart so that the secondary value is the percentage of the total of the primary value.

For me the total of the stack is 70%, of which the first block is 59.5% (85% of 70%) and the second block is 10.5% (15% of 70%). You may need to adjust the y axis scale so that it starts at zero.
