How to change label of a stacked column chart to Percent but not of grand total?

Hello,

Any help on how to change label of a stacked column chart to Percent but not of grand total?

I have here below graph and I want the data labels to be in percentage but not of a grand total but based on total of month. For example each month, the category should total 100% each month. I want to retain the visual to be stacked column instead of 100% stacked column so I can still see the trend of spend over time. Thank you!

Hi @jovendeluna21 ,

 

I don't quite understand your needs, can you show the output you expect?

Do you want to present the content as shown but don't want to use a 100% stacked column chart?

Or do you want to use another way, maybe this similar case can help you?

Clustered Column chart that shows % of row total by x-axis value 

 

Hope it helps,

Yes, you are right that I want to present the content as shown but don't want to use a 100% stacked column chart. I want to show still the trend month over month. Something like below image

@jovendeluna21 , As far as I know, the power you can not have a label on another column than what you use. So what we do we create % of subtotal column and use that in visual
