Do you think it could be possible to chart a "ternary diagram" with Excel (and without an additional tool) ?
You can find an example of such a diagram there:

This is often used by chemist when they deal with a mix of three components.

I simply need to represent point on such a triangular diagram.
A point is represented by three numbers (x,y,z) but the three numbers sum up to 100%: x+y+z = 100% .
Therefore -of course- a point can simply be represented by two coordinates x an y, and the third coordinate can be calculated or can be read on the diagram.

Any suggestion?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
