How do I add custom labels on a dynamic graph in Excel - excel

I am creating a monthly excel report with dynamic charts.
Let's say the table is about Products Sold in that month. Since some products might not have been sold, I want to omit them in the graph. Hence I have created a dynamic graph by using the OFFSET formula. This is all good with generating the graph with the standard data labels.
However, I would also like the data labels to be in custom format, i.e displaying both number of units sold as well as the % of total units sold that month like this [200 (28%)]
The only method I know to apply custom data labels is linking individual data labels to the excel cells. But this won't work with dynamic chart as not all rows of the data is present in the graph.
Please help, thank you in advance.

A frequency line chart from pivot table on excel

I have a data I want to sort into pivot-based graphs and I need help with it.
Below is an example of the data im sorting
Basically, I want the pivot to have a week number and category filter. Then for it to sort the data like a frequency based line-chart based on how many people have unit output in certain ranges. End product should look like this.
I am having trboule because every category has very different min and max points so it can't be done manually.
I tried to use a traditional pivot table but I cant get the frequency part down.
Thank you

Pie chart in SSRS

I have a report with 2 pie charts, giving sales data for product groups. Running a dataset from an OLAP cube.
I want to be able to select 2 different dates for each chart.
Example; Someone wants to compare November sales to the previous month. So one chart to display October, one to display November. Or they might want to see how Jan/Feb/Mar compare to Apr/May/Jun.
Can this be done from the same dataset, or do I need to point each chart to a separate dataset?
If the dataset returns the data for both months, you could add filters to each chart to show the appropriate one. However, it sounds like you'd want this to be more dynamic.
I would suggest creating two separate datasets, each with a month parameter. This will allow the user to select any combination of two months. The charts would simply point to their respective dataset. You shouldn't incur a noticeable performance hit either way.

Can Excel aggregate/combine x amount of datapoints and show an average instead of showing all datapoints?

I have a graph with data for each day. I would like to only show the average of the data per week on my graph.
Here you can see a part of the chart. What I want is that these 21 (42) bars (days) shown in 3 (6) bars (weeks).
Can Excel do this without me having to manipulate the data and creating averages per week?
If Excel can't, what would be the most efficient way to create this dataset, if you know my data is organized following this structure (going until 31/12/2017).
I appreciate you reading my question and I hope you can help me out.

How do I make a pivot table just for x and y data (for use in a scatter plot)?

I've been looking for a way to create a dynamic graph that I can filter by whatever month I want using the pivot table's filter feature. The x-values for my data set are time.
I know that I could just create a graph for all my data and then use Excel's auto filter feature for my x and y data (filtering x to limit the months displayed on the graph), but I have too many values, so the auto filter doesn't display all the months of the year, so there goes that idea.
Here's what I want my pivot table to display:
A column listing all my x-values (time)
A column listing all my y-values
A filter for my x-values (time)
So yeah, basically the same thing as my input except I can filter it and it'll dynamically update a scatter plot I make.
Is there a way to do this?
What version of Excel do you have? I haven't tried it with the volume of data you seemingly have, but in 2013 or later, if you format your data as a Table (Home > Format as Table), you can add Slicers and Timelines (Under the Design menu when a cell within the table is selected). This gives you a user friendly pane that lets you select a date range. Not sure if you will run into the same issue with having too many date values, but it is worth a shot.

How automatically to identify series when creating graph

Right now I have three columns of data that I would need on a graph. It's about the score of different countries on non-related evaluations. So there's a column for the year of the evaluation, the name of the country and the score it got.
Since there are hundreds of them, it would take a lot of time to add data series individually, so I was wondering if isn't there a way to just select the columns and Excel could identify each series automatically.

And wanted to create a graph like this:
Is there a way to do this easily?
