--- Comment #15 from Andy <[email protected]> --- I have seen your new graph, and must thank you for all the effort you're putting into this. Really. Nonetheless, I think it is still not convincing. That's why: - first of all, I have to stress that my MAIN problem lies with the single group bar chart, i.e. the one where data in percentages produces a full row of 100%, 100%, on and on. This, to me is unquestionably inappropriate. - in the multiple group bar charts case, to which you refer, things are less clearcut. But your new solution is not OK yet to me, because you inverted the role of the classifier (gender) and of the items (political opinions in the example); now you have a 5-group bar chart with only two items that are the sexes, and you have to infer the item to which each bar is associated by looking at the colors in the legend, instead of having the items shown under the X-axis. This is decidedly non-standard in graphical representation of frequency data: THE standard is having items (categorical like in this example or numeric - e.g. income or whatever) shown under the x-axis and the classifier (gender) shown in the legend. However I think we should close the debate, which is taking really too much of our time: in fact, a workaround to get where I want does exist: you just have to draw the chart based directly on the percentages after having them computed in the sheet cells: in this way you get the same shapes in the chart, but you can show data labels without turning them into percentages, since the data are ALREADY %. This is shown in my revision of the attachment, with chart 3 showing the single group case, and chart 4 the double group case. I still believe the behaviour of the program should be changed, but one cannot pretend everything always goes according to his own wish, right? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
