MS graph applet chart - Pasing data from excel

[Hari Prasadh]

Hi,

I copy data from excel and paste in to MS Graph applet datasheet (chart)
within PPT.

The applet already has some dummy percentage figures.

When I paste the actual percentage values from excel (in excel they are
formatted as percentages only) then in applet graph the graph shows figures
which are OFF by a factor of 100.

On the other hand If i actually type in numbers then the applet graph/data
sheet works fine.

Please tell me where am going wrong.

For example if one dummy value is 36% and if I paste 48 % over it the graph
will show 0% and if I write 4800% then it displays 48%.

Thanks a lot,

Are the number formats set to percent in the PPT data sheet? Select the row
on the datasheet, right-click and choose Number.

As: You've typed 20.4%
or: You've formatted the cells as Numberercentage and typed e.g. .204

It may be better to force the issue by doing the latter then make sure the
values from excel are normalized to the correct range.
