Percentage Column Charts

[stacy05]

HI!! I think I am thinking too much about this and it is easier than it
seems, but I cant figure it out! hopefully someone can help.

So I need to create a chart with 2 column...plan vs. actual. But I need each
of these bar columns to be separted by percentages of the categories that
make them up.
EX: I need to make a comparison on how big of a percentage the Labor part of
the Budget was when they planned and how it differs from the actual
execution.

Thanks for your help!

Calculate your percentages in the worksheet, then use one of these utilities
to apply the calculations as data labels:
