PowerPoint Graph Pie Chart Percentages Add up to 101 Percent PSS ID Number: Q71246 Article last modified on 05-24-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

2.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

The pie chart percentages in a PowerPoint Graph may add up to 101 percent instead of 100 percent.

More Information:

You may slightly adjust the data in the PowerPoint Graph datasheet to force the chart to add up to 100 percent. You can also simply cover up the incorrect percentage label on the PowerPoint slide with a label containing the correct percentage.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
