    As zhollett points out the problem is the auto scaling.
    You just need to uncheck the Min and Max values.

    You may find using a clustered column chart is easier.
    This will also allow you to use the builtin data labels to display both percentages.

    And if you want to get really creative

    Thumbs up Thanks

    This works great, thank you! I don't understand how you set the min and max at 0 and 1, though. How do you specify that on the graph?

    Those thermometer templates are beautiful! I was actually trying to make a thermometer, and just drew a circle with the draw functions and layed it over my graph. These are much better, though, so I'm going to try to understand them so I can use them.

    Thank you guys SOOOO much for your help!!!

    To set the min/max you can either,
    double click the Y axis, to display the format dialog. On the Scale tab set Min=0 and Max=1

    Or as zhollett described. Select horizontal gridlines and via their format dialog you can also set the Scale properties.
