Non-number value in Charts
I am trying to make a non-number value show up in a column chart. The chart
is automatically showing any non-number value as zero. This is fine, however I would like the Display Data Labels to show the value that is displayed in the cell. How do I do this? |

Non-number value in Charts
I think you're actually wanting to display either series name, or category
name. If you just want custom labels on individual data points/columns, you'll need to manually edit the labels yourself by selecting the value, then clicking again (aka, a slow double click). -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "erawson" wrote: I am trying to make a non-number value show up in a column chart.

Use a different range for labels and add them to chart an Excel chart label

Non-number value in Charts
Thanks
However, I am wanting to chart different concentrations of chemicals in water. If a certain chemical is not detected I would record ND. I am wondering how to get the display data labels to display ND and not zero, without manually entering it into the chart. Example Nitrate-Nitrogen Ammonia-Nitrogen TKN Chloride 10 12 5 70 9 ND 6 85 11 2 ND 70 I want the chart to graph it as a zero value, however have the display data labels correctly showing that it is ND - Not detected "Luke M" wrote: I think you're actually wanting to display either series name, or category name.

The chart labeller add-in take TEXT and numbers; so you can use you data
exactly as is. Email me a sample file (get address from bottom of my website) and I will use Bovey labellers to show you the result. best wishes from a retired chem prof. -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "erawson" wrote in message ...
