One request we almost always get with our column or bar charts is to see the variance or percentage change between each column. This is especially true when the chart displays a trend over months, quarters, years, etc.
The solution uses a regular clustered column chart in Excel. The second series is made invisible with No Fill on the column, and then uses error bars to display the variance between amount columns.
**Excel 2010 & Earlier**
If you are using Excel 2010 or earlier you will not have the Value from Cells option for the data labels. However, you can use the free XY Labeler add-in from AppsPro to create the labels. This will save you a lot of time. Here is the link to download the add-in.
