  when the percentage of color option is selected.
  
  ENVIRONMENT

  expected there.
  
  EXPECTED RESULT
  
  - Selecting the Percentage by color option under Properties ->
  Axis -> Data Value Labels -> Value Label Format should display
  the correct percentage value on the column chart

  - Create a new Dashboard using the Go Sales (Query) package
  - Select a Column Visualization
  - Insert in the Fields;
  
  Bars -> Product line
  Length -> Quantity
  Color -> Product line
  
  - Create a duplicate of the dashboard
  - In the first visualization, toggle on the "Show value labels"
  button under  Properties -> Axis -> Data Value Labels . This
  should show the values on columns
  - In the second visualization, toggle on the "Show value labels"
  button button under  Properties -> Axis -> Data Value Labels and
  then set  Value Label Format to "Percentage by color"
  
  You should observe at this point that the percentage values all
