Suppose your data are in A2:B{whatever}. Enter the notes you want in
C2:C{whatever} for only those points for which you want said notes.
Now, set the datalabels to C2:C{whatever}.

Yes, all points will have datalabels attached to them. But they will
be empty with the exception of what you enter.

Tushar,

Thanks for your reply. The data labels seem to want to show data for more
than a single point. I am using these callouts to record information on
control charts where there are assignable causes for data points outside of a
normal distribution. I have tried both programs without much success.

You could use a datalabel instead of a callout. Not the same visual

If you do decide to go that route, you may want to use Bovey's XY
Chartlabeler (www.appspro.com) or Walkenbach's ChartTools (www.j-
walk.com).

Does anyone know a way to keep the pointer of a callout assigned to a point
in a graph? I am trying to add additional data points to graphs and my
callouts don't follow the point. Is there a way to do this without moving
the call out every time?
