Is there a way with Google Charts to have the data label value as well as the percentage displayed?

I have conducted a survey using Google docs and want to present the data in graphical form that displays both the percentage and also the number value.

I seem to be able to achieve one or the other but not both.

Appreciate any guidance - thanks.

Chris

Chris,

We don't have an option yet for controlling the format of the percentage values in pie charts, if that is what you are using, though we are planning to add some options in the near future.  There are some options for formatting tooltips in other charts.  Can you give us more details of your charts?

Hi Daniel

Many thanks for getting back to me. I attach a copy of one column of the data that I wish to display as a chart showing both the % and the number.

Regards  Chris

Thanks for the details on your chart.  

As I said, the PieChart doesn't support anything more than the pieSliceText option which only lets you choose to display the percentage, value, label, or none.  We are thinking of supporting some kind of templating system to give you much more control over the generated text.
