I am trying to create a chart that has the primary axis as a stacked chart that shows 2 figures (numbers of sales & number of referrals). I am then adding a line that shows percentage across the chart in a secondary axis. The issue is that I need this line to show the percentage of sales that were referrals. I have the chart created, however due to the referrals changing each month the line is not accurately showing the percentage. The percentage number is correct; it is the spot where the line intersects that is not calculating properly on the stacked bars. Any thoughts?
 
Rodney -

You mean you want percent labels at the top of the referrals. Okay, you do not need to add a line chart series.

You can use the Chart Labeler from Rob Bovey's site (http://appspro.com) to add labels from the worksheet to a series in the chart.

Add labels to the upper series, in the "inside base" position (which is the bottom of the bar), using the range of percentages you've already calculated.


That gave me exactly what I needed... Awesome - truly appreciated.
