Excel template chart data percentage won't change
Templates are not without problems. And sometimes difficult to diagnose. Almost impossible without seeing the actual spreadsheet (not just an image).
Is it possible for you, therefore, to post either your actual OR, if you don't want to share your personal finances, a copy of the original template as you get it from the source...put it on OneDrive or GoogleDrive and paste a link here that grants access. Or paste a link here to the original template--there are many personal budget templates, so it would take some time for one of us to go figure out which one it is.
Just for the record, though, I've not used many templates myself--preferring to design my own--but have seen quite a few from other people posting questions here on this forum. And I have yet to see one that doesn't have quirks, odd problems, sometimes from hidden elements that are difficult to locate. They're not for the faint-hearted! My recommendation is to use templates like this as a jumping off point to create your own....

Well, let me just repeat the last paragraph from my response to RosieBenn

To go a step further, if you really want help, you need to provide more information. A cry for "Help!" doesn't give anybody anything to work with. So go back and read the rest of what I wrote--tell us what template (with a link, ideally) you're finding hard to work with, etc., etc., etc.

- mathetesJan 13, 2024Silver ContributorWhere is the template from, if I may ask? Is it a Microsoft template, or from some other source? If it's from Microsoft, I can see if there's somebody from the organization who can address it at its source.
My own assessment of it, frankly, is that it's not a very thoughtful or useful design in the first place.
