Default XY Scatter Chart - Drag individual data points on graph

Microsoft decided for whatever reason that this capability was not
important, so it was removed. It is therefore unlikely that Microsoft would
issue an add-in to recreate this capability, and in fact, they have issued
no such add-in. Perhaps they have heard the outcry and will revive the
feature for the next version of Excel.

I am working on a utility which will work much the same as the original
feature did, but it's still on the drawing board.

Does anyone know if Microsoft has meanwhile created some add-in to enable
the
dragging of individual points on a Excel 2007 graph ??
I just can't understand why this VERY useful capability was removed from
Excel 2007 !

In Excel 2003, I was able to drag individual xy scatter point data to a
new
position on the actual graph. This was a great feature when one wanted
to
move
data to get them to coalesce with a scanned curve that had been
included
in
the graph background. I am not able to do this in Excel 2007. Does
anybody
know if this feature is available in Excel 2007?
