Default Setting hover data labels to cells other than source data

Hi and thanks in advance,

I need a macro or something that will show a data label for a data source
point when clicked or moved over by a mouse. I also need this data label to
reference a different source than the source data used in the plot. For
example, I am graphing a yield curve in relation to duration, however,
instead of showing the x (duration) and y (yield) with the data label, I
would like it to show the name of the instrument.
x = column a, y = column b, instrument name = column c, for example.

I have already tried using the tashar mehta macro for hovering data labels
but it seems to break down rather easily. Perhaps it is not compatible with
my excel version. If you have advice on how to make a macro, or where to get
one from that will perform this operation I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Darren
