Greg -

Easiest of all. Plot the individual values and the totals in the chart.
Select the Totals series, and using Chart Type on the Chart menu, change
it to a Line style. Then double click the Totals series to format it. On
the Patterns tab, choose None for lines and for markers, so it's
invisible; on the Data Labels tab, choose Show Values. Press OK to close
the dialog and apply the formats. Double click on the data labels, and
on the Alignment tab choose the Above option.
