I am trying to put Data Labels on a Stock Chart, using a different data
source
for the chart and the labels (in adjacent columns)

I have tried various add-ins and trials (Jwalk chart tools and power pack,
XY labeler)
I have also searched high and low for an answer but all roads seem to lead
here....

The problem is that when I change the data source using the filters the data
source changes ok
but the data labels go skew-wiff.

is there a solution for this? or am I missing something obvious?

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Hi,

This looks like a bug in the chart object!
Once you use non built-in information in a data label the indexing
between text value and data label to display it gets confused.

Note this is NOT a bug with the labeller addins. any text whether type
directly or via linked cells will create the error.

Off hand I can not think of a cure for this, without resorting to VBA.

Cheers
Andy
