Thats perfect, you are a great help! Now I only have one last question 
regarding a cosmetic issue and I already tried around a little but I cannot 
find a solution. 

Is there a way that when the chart is in "conversion" mode, the values can 
be shown with the prefix " %" and the Y-Axis values are shown with "%" sign 
behind the values? The numbers are already calculated how I want them, but 
I'm just missing the percentage symbol. 
When the chart is in "no-conversion" mode (just showing column A), the 
values should be shown as is with no prefix or percentage sign. 

Thanks a bunch for helping me out
