I want to display either a % or a number based on the selection of an option button. My problem is with switching between the number format and % format. I have attached a test file.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that B18:B24 is formatted as Percent. Thus, even when you select PBIT, it is presented as a percentage. Suggest you format as a number, and multiply your percents by 100 to have them display properly.
If you want to have the data displayed as percentages, then you probably need a macro to change the formatting of that range. You can easily record a macro to do the formatting, and then assign it to your option button. You'll need another for the other option as well.

Thanks for your reply. I have written the macros and attached them to the option buttons & it works perfectly.
You don't need code you can use named ranges to chart the selected values.
Thanks Andy. Could you provide an example of that based on my test file?
I have attached my sample file with the macros.
I alter the labelling of the options buttons so the store value makes the Offset named range work easier.
That is so much simpler. Much appreciated.
Hey, Andy, that's a neat trick. Thanks for the tip.
I understand the offset function. Can you explain the range for the chart? If I select the chart, I can't see the data range for the chart?
Use the Select Data dialog to see the named range used.
It says the data range is too complicated to be displayed?
I don't get that message anywhere.
Use Formulas > Name Manager, to see the named range formula.
If you select the columns the range used has a box around it.
If you use Select Data you see the formula used to reference the named range
OK, I finally figured it out. Thanks for all your help.
