Creating a chart with dynamic labels

The trick of this chart is to show data from specific cells in the chart labels. For example, if you have to show in one chart two different data bar:

• To compare two different teams, you should create a chart using percent of task completion (in this example, cells C14:D14).
• But it will be more informative to see the real volume for every team (in this example, cells C12:D12). Or the simple formulas:

  Team A: = CONCATENATE (IF (C14 > D14, "Winner - ", "Loooser - "), TEXT (C12, "#0"))

  Team B: = CONCATENATE (IF (C14 < D14, "Winner - ", "Loooser - "), TEXT (D12, "#0"))

For the existing chart, do the following:

   1.   Right-click on the chart and in the popup menu, select Add Data Labels and again Add Data Labels:

   2.   Do one of the following:

• For all labels:
  • Right-click on any data label and select Format Data Labels... in the popup menu:
    
  • On the Format Data Labels pane, on the Label Options section, in the Label Contains group, check the Value From Cells option and then choose cells in the Data Label Range dialog box:
    
• For the specific label: double-click on the label value, then select Choose Cell in the popup menu, and specify the value in the Data Label Reference dialog box:
  

Make any other adjustments to get the look you desire:
