XY Chart Labels
Need the help up of the Excel gurus..
I'm using Rob Bovey's XY Chart labeler to label a Red, Yellow, and Green XY chart. By the way...this add-in is great!!! The data for the charts are built from dynamic named ranges for both X and Y. I have a helper column for the labels that is a dynamic named range as well. All data is linked to an MS Access db. Here's what I'm trying to do: The data for the charts will change whenever I load the file with new data and was wondering if anyone knew how to create a macro to call up the Add In and place the dynamic named range in the "... Label Range" field for each Red, Yellow, and Green data series. I would then repeat this macro for each XY chart in the file. Many many thanks in advance. AK |

XY Chart Labels
Rather than trying to call up the add-in, you could build the same
functionality directly into your spreadsheet. The following link gives examples of the code that could be used to do so. http://www.cellmatrix.net/index.php/...t_data_points/ Additional code could be added to trigger an event to update the spreadsheet each time the database loads.

XY Chart Labels
thanks for the feedback; however it's not working for me...
how do i create labels from a dynamic named range (Green_Label) for the green dots on the XY chart and labels for the red dots from a dynamic named range (Red_Label)?
