Show a difference arrow as absolute.

Switch a difference arrow to absolute values when a percent change hides the real gap, then reverse the arrow if the story reads the other way.

Step 1: Open your chart in the editor

Open any Chartbuddy chart so the editor is active. This works the same in Hub, Embed, Google Slides, and PowerPoint.

Step 2: Left-click the difference arrow

Left-click the difference arrow or its label. The formatting toolbar opens above the chart.

Step 3: Set Display to Absolute

Left-click the Display control, then Left-click Absolute (or the absolute preview). The arrow label shows the unit gap instead of a percent.

Step 4: Reverse the arrow direction

Left-click reverse under Direction (or swap the start and end) when the arrow should read the other way.

Watch the short clip above for the full click path.
