move data labels on a 3d bar
 

Hi

is there an easy way to move data labels on a 3d chart. Currently I'm
moving them individually. Can it be done all at once. i've found out how to
do it on 2d but the label position isn't available on a 3d chart.

Thanks

Diane

Hi,

With 3d column chart the data labels only have the position of outside end.
3d stacked column has Center.

Where did you want the labels?

Cheers

The inflexibility of 3D charts is a good reason not to use 3D charts. More
important reasons include the distortion of the data caused by the oblique
perspective.

Hi,

Then use the Stacked version of the chart, which will center the labels
automatically.
