I’m using MS Excel 2010.
I made a line graph based on some data I have. My supervisor suggested me adding a table that shows the number values of the readings underneath the graph. Fortunately, Excel provides this feature from the “Design” tab, and then selecting the layout that has the line graph and a table underneath.

However, I want to show the graph data (y-axis) in percentage but the table values in numbers.

As an attempt to do this, I selected the area of the y-axis data (right click) -> Format axis -> Number -> Percentage. It works in changing it to percentage values but the problem is that it makes it as if multiplied by 10 (i.e. I need it to show the percentages as 0%, 20%,…, 100%, etc. instead of 0%, 200%,…, 1000%, etc. I failed in adding a suitable “Format Code” to solve my problem.

I need your help, please!
Thanks

Wondering if anyone has thoughts about my question? - Candle

I will assume the number 5 represents 5% (and not 50%, see my question under the OP).

Then you can use the following custom format for the axis:

0"%"

if you have decimals just add those:

0.0"%"
