I hope this answers your question:
1.Right click on the chart 2.Select 'Source Data' 3.Select the 'Series' tab 4.In 'Values', clear the box and select the list of words you want to appear on the Y axis (have this list written somewhere on a worksheet) 5.Click ok Was this what you were after?

This will plot everything as zero values, since they are all text.

This add-on works great, but I would like to be able to incorporate this into
a macro that I am using to process the data and create the chart. I am guessing that this is not possible. What do you think?

Which add-in? The Labeler? According to Rob's documentation, he has
modified the Labeler to allow it to be used by other VBA procedures. He does not show how, unfortunately. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://peltiertech.com/ WDGILBERT wrote: This add-on works great, but I would like to be able to incorporate this into a macro that I am using to process the data and create the chart.

For future reference, the information on how to use this in a macro is
included in the help for XY Chart Labeler. I tried it and it works. Thanks for your help! "Jon Peltier" wrote: Which add-in? The Labeler?
