Excel Add Ons Series Will Be

Macabacus expedites this process and adds totals with a click of a button in the Macabacus Charts Stacked Column Bar Totals menu.

This tool contemplates and addresses three possible scenarios.

In this scenario, Macabacus ensures that the totals in the chart are formatted properly and replaces missing labels as needed.

In this case, Macabacus adds cells containing totals to the chart data source range.

In this scenario, Macabacus can compute totals for you and add them to the chart.

Access this tool using the Macabacus Charts Target Band button.

Often, these arrows are hastily and imprecisely drawn on top of charts as Office shapes, require tedious formatting, and do not update when the underlying data changes.

The resulting dialog presents you with several options for customizing the growth arrow, and your preferences are saved for the next time you use this tool.

If you add a growth arrow to a clustered column chart, only the first clustered column series will be used to compute the growth arrow.

You can override this computed CAGR by manually entering a growth rate, or by selecting a cell containing the growth rate you want to appear in the arrows data label.

You can adjust the formatting of the arrow and its data label in this dialog, as well as adjust the position of the arrow to avoid overlap with other chart elements, for example.

A dynamic series uses formulas to position the arrow on the chart, just like any normal data-driven chart series.

To create a dynamic arrow, Macabacus adds a few rows to your worksheet (preferably adjacent to the existing chart data) containing formulas that compute the growth arrow position.

A static arrow, on the other hand, is hardcoded into the chart, but can be updated by simply reopening and closing the Growth Arrow dialog.

A static arrow may be appropriate for a quick-and-dirty CAGR arrow on a chart whose data you do not expect to change, or if you want to avoid worksheet changes required by a dynamic arrow.

This is due to an Excel bug for which there are two workarounds: (a) convert the chart data table to a range prior to performing these operations, or (b) use dynamic growth arrows.
