It’s easy to create a stacked chart in Excel. And it might be not hard for many users to add labels for the data points in the chart. But how to change the labels to percentages in the stacked chart? Here, I recommend the Stacked Chart with Percentage feature of Kutools for Excel to general such a stacked bar with percentage labels easily in Excel.
