Pie Chart '%' symbol not displaying when decrease legend font

[#1]

Hi all,

I noticed that when I have a Pie Chart that displays the relative percentages (Chart Properties > Expressions > Relative checkbox and Values on Data Points checkbox), and I decrease the legend font size (Chart Properties > Presentation > Settings > Font), the '%' symbol disappears. Sometimes, the numbers and the '%' symbol disappear all together.

I have found a temporary work-around in which I set the font to 'Tahoma' and one font size smaller than I actually want, then increase the font size, and I will have the right display and legend font size. However, this doesn't work for say, Arial.

Is there a direct fix?
 

Thanks!

Does it happen like this?

Hi Alan,

Yes, the default display when selecting the 'Relative' and 'Values on Data Points' checkboxes are the relative percentages to the 2 decimal places. But it should show the '%' sign. When you decrease the legend font, it looks exactly like your above screenshot, where the '%' symbol disappears.

Have you tried holding down CTRL + SHIFT

You will see some red around the objects on the chart

While holding CTRL +SHIFT drag the legend across so it fits on the chart

You should then get

Yes, I've tried that, but the '%' symbol still does not display. The 'Show in Percent' checkbox is checked as well..

Irene,

Look at the format pattern you have #,##0% try #.00%

I changed the format but it still did not show the '%' symbol.

The file is attached.

Thanks!

I opened your qvw file. It shows % to me. Just try to recreate new pie chart and see that show up.

Hi Devang,

When creating a new pie chart, the default legend font size is size 9. If I decrease to size 8, the '%' will disappear again. It's a matter of fixing the issue of the disappearing '%' when I decrease the legend font size.

Thanks!
