Hi,

I have tried to solve this but i am completely new to Pivot Tables/Charts?

Basically i have two totals:

Value 1 which is the number of working Employees
and Value 2 which is the total number of Employees

Both are subject to change but my main problem is that Value 2 (Total of Employees) i want to display as 100% in a chart and Value 1 is the percentage of employees utilized.
I have the calculation working fine (Value 1/Value 2).
But if for example i have 35 employees as Value 2, how do i make that show as 100% in the chart?
I get things like 35 or 3500%?
I have played about endlessly changing values etc but just cant get it and cant find anything so far that helps?
It shouldnt be too hard?

Thank you in advance
 
If value 2 is 35, what's value 1?
 
They both change weekly.

so Value 2 (35) may be 36 next week and Value 1 is 3 and then could be 8?

Just depends how many employees we have employed in total but not utilized.

In fact a better way for me to describe this is:

Value 2 is Total Employees on our books (subject to change as we employ or someone resigns)

And Value 1 is the number of employees actually deployed on a project (i.e. not off or on leave)
 
Actually in hindsight i think i have found what i was doing wrong?

I was including the say 35 (Total) employees as well as the percentage for example 4% of the 35 in the Pivot chart which will not work!

All i need to do is only include the % of employees that are currently utilized and set the Axis to 100% and that will read correctly.

UPDATE:

That doesn't work as the % inserted then becomes 100%?!

There must be away to set the scale or something?
How do i represent the percentage as the percentage of Total employees?
