data labels in 2007
In 2003 I used to be able to hover over a data point on a chart and it would
give me the value... in 2007 it seems I am not able to do that... is that correct? how can I see the data point value on my chart without double clicking on it... want to just hover over it |

Apparently it doesn't work unless you activate the chart.

series and then hover... which I don't want to have to do "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, Check the options, Show chart element names on hover Show data point values on hover Office button Excel Options Advanced Display section.

The chart needs to be selected, as Jon stated.
But for me the tooltip appears without the actual series being selected. Cheers Andy John wrote: I have both those options checked. Strange...

I have found dozens of little stupid things like this that don't work the
way they used to. Not exactly bugs, I guess, but not exactly working right. I think they were rushed into releasing Excel 12 with a beta-quality charting system. I'm hoping they have a chance to fix it in Excel 14. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "John" wrote in message ... disapointing... thx.
