Excel Data Labels: How to add totals as labels to a stacked bar chart (pre-2013)
Wednesday, May 7th, 2014
Written by Jane Hames On some recent Excel 2010 training a question came up about how can the totals be shown as data labels rather than as a bar in the chart. In pre-2013 versions this is not obvious and to begin with I was stumped, but (as is often the case with software use) […]

Frequently Asked Questions
How can we be sure that the training will be relevant to our business? ▼
Our training is all bespoke, so we design training workshops that meet the exact needs of your teams that also inform the wider objectives of the organisation.
We won't include anything that is not relevant to your business.
How many people can join a training session? ▼
Our training workshops are very interactive and practical with plenty of time for individual questions and help, so we recommend a maximum of 10 people per workshop.
We can however work to your requirements and over the years we have delivered to groups ranging from 1 person to 700 people!
What if people can't remember everything we covered - will we receive any reference materials? ▼
Yes, depending on the workshop, you will receive at least one of the following:
- PDF reference notes
- Sample files to practise with
- Topic-specific slides
- AI prompt builders
- Access to YouTube videos and blog posts
We can also record your online workshop for viewing post-training.
What is the optimum length of a training workshop? ▼
We would recommend a minimum of 90 minutes up to a full day. Many people prefer a full day as it gives them more time to focus and apply their learning with the trainer's support.
However for others, a half day (3 hours) works well - or we can schedule multiple 90 minute workshops within a day for you.
How do we ensure that the team doesn't forget what they learnt? ▼
During our workshops, the team will be relating their learning to real-world examples. This provides the starting point for them to apply their learning to their work. We encourage conversations between managers and team members to ensure that this continues to happen.
Follow up/refresher workshops and/or a facilitated peer group office hours session a few weeks after the training are hugely beneficial. Floorwalking and 1 to 1 drop in surgeries are a great way to keep the learning going and for team members to get help with their unique problems.
We also offer 3 months post training support on the topics covered.
