Data labels in XY chart

[John O' Sullivan]

I have an xy chart with country population size on the x axis and the number
of certain happenings or occurrences in that country as the y axis (say
country population on x and annual deaths by coronary disease on y). I want
to attach a data label with the country name to each point in the xy graph,
but the default that excel allows is to display either the x axis or y axis
value as the label. How can I get a data label to associate with the xy data
point which is not an x axis or y axis value itself.

Thanks

John,

You can use my "Chart Data Labels" Excel add-in.
It allows you to enter label titles on your spreadsheet
and then automatically add data labels, with those titles,
to a specific chart series.
It comes with a Word.doc install/use file.
Free upon direct request. Remove xxx from e-mail address.
