We want to add an asterisk to several numbers in our data source, but when we
add the asterisk to the source data, it disappears from the chart. How can
we keep it from doing that without putting the asterisk in a textbox and then
moving it around all the time whenever there are changes in the chart?

Create a custom number format like one of these:

General"*"
0.00"*"

Whatever suits you. It should be just the format you're using already
with "*" added on the end. Apply the format you created whenever you
want to add an asterisk to a number, and the result will be a number
that displays properly on your chart, but displays with an asterisk on
your table.
