Hello to all the brains out there.
Im making a simple chart with just total time and lost time and causes for
that lost time. Adding the total time and lost time to the chart is easy
enough but i want to add a causes line which is just text, can this be done?,
i'm using a simple bar graph for this.
Hope you all can help.

You can add data labels to the bars. The default options provide values or
category labels or whatever, but you can overwrite them. If you have a list
of labels in the sheet, use one of these utilities to make labeling much
easier:

Just bring a floppy into work and add the add-in from the floppy. It's
just a big Excel macro, so not subject to or detectable by works
policies about "unauthorised software".
