Inspired by a graph in the newspaper. A bar chart with the labels to the left when values are positive and to the right when negative. Seemed impossible in Excel.
The data starting in A1:
Provincie | Bedrag |
Noord Brabant | € 450,00 |
Zuid Holland | € 400,00 |
Noord Holland | € 350,00 |
Zeeland | € 300,00 |
Friesland | € 100,00 |
Groningen | € 50,00 |
Drenthe | € -50,00 |
Gelderland | € -100,00 |
Limburg | € -200,00 |
Flevoland | € -250,00 |
Utrecht | € -300,00 |
Overijssel | € -350,00 |
In C2 put the formula:
=IF((Sheet1!b2>0),-1,1) ,
Extend it to the end of the column.
Based on the data block create a stacked bar graph:
Put the color of the smallest series to white
Delete the regular Y-axis.
Add lables to the smallest series, outside end.
For the lables choose category name in stead of value.
Remove the legend.
Remove the gridlines.
You'll get a graph like:
You can make additonal changes if you like to make it look like the one I created.
