Excel supports one label per data point, or one set of labels per
series. In Excel 2002 or later, you can include more than a single
quantity in each label, by checking the appropriate checkboxes, and
selecting a separator.

I assume you'd have found this, so you must have Excel 2000 or earlier.
In this case, you can construct the labels you want in the worksheet. I
would use three columns, the first with the labels, the third with the
values, and the middle one that concatenates them, using a formula like
this:

=A2&", "&C2
=A2&CHAR(10)&C2
=A2&": "&C2

depending on how to separate the parts of the labels. You may need to
define the format of the label using TEXT:

=A2&", "&TEXT(C2,"0.0%")

Now if you make your chart with the last two columns, the labels column
has the values incorporated.

Hi All,
Can someone please tell me how to put the label on the bar ? I can show only
the value or only the label but would like to show both. I am sure the gurus
over here can help. I want to show the label on the bar itself(vertical) on
top of the bar in different color. see e.g (Thats the best I can do :-)
