If you mean the grey buttons (A, B, C...) at the top of the worksheet,
they can be changed to numbers (1, 2, 3...), but you can't create your
own column headings.

Instead, you can add your headings to the first row in the worksheet.
Then, select row 2, and choose WindowFreeze Panes
The heading row will stay locked in place as you scroll down the worksheet.

Hi,

You can use the Source data dialog to specify the cells containing the
Category Labels.
Right click chart and choose Source Data...
On the series tab is a refedit control which will allow you to select
the range.

Cheers
Andy
