    Question Representing Percentage of the Total in a Chart

    Hello. This may be a very silly question, but I am having trouble representing the following data:

    I was able to create this chart:

    It uses data from a pivot table to show number of countries to total hours per week.

    However, I would like to create another chart that shows the user what percentage of countries work 40hrs per week, 48hrs per week, etc.

    If this can be done, can I please get some guidance on how to do this?

    There are probably a couple of ways to do this, but I would use a pivot table with a chart.

    Use column B as the Axis Category with Count of Countries as the values.

    In the pivot table, show values as % of Parent Row Total
