Default pivot-like chart for text data

Hi,
I know that you cannot use a pivot chart for text values; but I'd like
something similar. I have data in a worksheet that looks something like
this:

Food Carbohydrate (in Grams) Fat (in grams)
Bread, 1 slice 15 1
Croissant, 1 ounce 12 6
Corn Flakes, 1 cup 24 0

I would like a pivot-like chart with Carbohydrates in the x-axis and
Fats in the Y-axis and the food items as the data.

Is there any solutions?

Thanks
Kim

Make an XY chart with the Carbo and Fat data, then use one of these free
Excel add-ins to add the labels from the Food column to the data series:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com
