XY Scatter Map with Test Labels
Sorry if this is a repeated request, but I'm trying to show the distribution
of 16 points (labelled A through P) using X-Y coordinates. When I turn on labels, I can show either the X-positions (label) or Y-positions (value), but I really want to show the text name "A" through "P". Can this be automated in Excel? Thanks for any advice. |
Hi Mike,
The easiest thing to do is use a free addin utility to allow you to link data labels to cells. Try Rob Bovey's XY Chart Labeler add-in http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/ChartLabeler.htm Cheers Andy Mike K. wrote: Sorry if this is a repeated request, but I'm trying to show the distribution of 16 points (labelled A through P) using X-Y coordinates.

Mike,
The technique described at the site below uses a VBA worksheet calculate event to automate the updating of XY chart labels. The example can be downloaded fom the site as well. http://www.pdbook.com/index.php/exce...t_data_labels/ ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "Mike K." wrote: Sorry if this is a repeated request, but I'm trying to show the distribution of 16 points (labelled A through P) using X-Y coordinates.
