What version of Excel? In 97 the behavior was as you describe (if I
understand it) but in 2000, 2002, and 2003 (and I believe 2007) the single
label is centered below the included categories.

I am trying to graph data from various schools and want to display data
from
2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05 and so on with the school name under that range
of
dates. I only want the school name to appear once. The data adjacent to
those dates had the school name repeated for each year but when I merge
the
repeated school names into one field the chart now show only one school
name
but it is directly under the first data point. I want it to be centered
under the dates associated with that particular school.
Thanks for your help.
