I have a time series stacked bar chart that consists of three products.
I would like the labels for each product to show that product'
percentage of the total of the three products. How can I go abou
accomplishing this? I've seen previous repsonses to similar posts tha
recommend plotting the percentages, but I don't think that alone woul
solve my problem. I would still like to show the trend of the thre
products total, which wouldn't be available if I plot the percentage
only, as all bars would equal 100%. Thanks for any help provided

Interesting problem. The Y-axis scale and the data series you want to
plot should be the raw number data.

I think the best way to do it would be to plot the raw data and then use
the J-Walk chart labeller to label the percentages on each bar segment.
