Some charts won't let data labels to be at "Outside end"
Hello all:
In the same workbook I have several charts generated by pivot tables. In one chart the data labels are at location "Outside end". In the others under the "Label Position" "Outside end" does not show as an option! How so? How do I fix this? Deguza Using excel 2003 (11.8117.8107) SP2 On Windows XP professional |

Answer: Some charts won't let data labels to be at "Outside end"
Hi Deguza,
It's possible that the charts that don't have the "Outside end" option for data labels are using different chart types or settings. Here's how you can check and adjust the label position for each chart:

Outside End is only available for unstacked bar and column charts. Stacked
bar and column charts do not offer this option. In a non pivot chart you can use an additional series, formatted to be invisible, to display these labels. You can also move the labels manually, or use Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler (http://appspro.com) to move a series of labels at once. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Kompu Kid" wrote in message ps.com...

I have exactly the same type of chart. One let's me choose the
location "Outside end", the other does not... That does not let me is not a stacked bar or column chart, either. It is a real puzzle.

What kind of chart is it? How many series? If it has one series, stacked and
clustered versions of a bar or column chart are identical. Select the series, go to Chart menu Chart Type, and see what is highlighted. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Kompu Kid" wrote in message oups.com...
