XY Chart Labels

[AK]

Need the help up of the Excel gurus..

I'm using Rob Bovey's XY Chart labeler to label a Red, Yellow, and Green XY
chart.

By the way...this add-in is great!!!

The data for the charts are built from dynamic named ranges for both X and
Y. I have a helper column for the labels that is a dynamic named range as
well. All data is linked to an MS Access db.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
The data for the charts will change whenever I load the file with new data
and was wondering if anyone knew how to create a macro to call up the Add In
and place the dynamic named range in the "... Label Range" field for each
Red, Yellow, and Green data series.

I would then repeat this macro for each XY chart in the file.

Many many thanks in advance.

Rather than trying to call up the add-in, you could build the same
functionality directly into your spreadsheet. The following link gives
examples of the code that could be used to do so.

Additional code could be added to trigger an event to update the spreadsheet
each time the database loads.

thanks for the feedback; however it's not working for me...

how do i create labels from a dynamic named range (Green_Label) for the
green dots on the XY chart and labels for the red dots from a dynamic named
range (Red_Label)?

Thanks
