How Do I Flip a Bar Chart?

How Do I Flip a Bar Chart?

In excel, I have a set of percentages and a set of text labels. When I create a bar graph going horizontally, I see "label 5" at the top and "label 1" at the bottom. There doesn't seem to be a way to flip the chart. What am I missing here?

| label 1 | 10% |
| label 2 | 30% |
| label 3 | 20% |
| label 4 | 55% |
| label 5 | 12% |
