Default How do I write text on a bar chart using VBA

You can add a data label to the data point.

With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(1)
.HasDataLabel = True
With .Datalabel
.Caption = "Hello"
.Position = xlLabelPositionCenter
.Orientation = xlUpward
'' and more if desired
End With
End With
