I have a bar graph that has each bar split up into different things. When i tell it to show the value it shows the value of each individual part and not the entire bar. Is there a way to get it to show the total for the entire bar?
 
BPMan,

Sum your data series on the spreadsheet itself. Then don't show the values thru the chart options. Draw a new text box from the drawing toolbar atop the series. While it is still selected, use the formula bar and place a formula linking to the cell with the sum in it (i.e. =G5) and hit enter. The new total will be in the text box and can be moved adjacent or on top of the bar/column as desired.

Hope this helps.
