Thanks. Downloaded the chart labeler and it worked!

Hi,

The data labels for the area series have no options for alignment.

Add another line series to the chart based on the area data. This has
the options to align data labels. You can format the line series to have
no marker or line. And you can also delete the series from the legend.

Otherwise you could use Rob Bovey's chart labeler to re-position the
areas data labels.

Hello-

I'm trying to create a combination chart; one data series in an area chart,
and three in line format. Got the chart created, but the data series labels
for the area chart show up in the middle of the area, which looks awkward.
Is there anyway to move them closer to the top edge of the area plot? I
don't seem to find any options for moving the labels in an area chart.
