Add comments to a graph
Use the Drawing toolbar. Make sure you select (click on) the chart before
adding a shape because you want the chart and the shape to be grouped (bound together) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "jlclyde" wrote in message ...

If a comment is not possible, is it possible to change the data point itself or the color of the line at that data point? Thanks, Jay |

Add comments to a graph
My suggestion was to add a shape and type the comment into it. Is this not
what you want? Yes, it is possible to change the colour of any single cell. Click the cell, pause fro a second and click it again, now right click it and use Format Data Point Alternatively you can add custom data labels with one of these add-ins: Rob Bovey's Chart Labeller, http://appspro.com John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com Tushar's Hover Chart Label utility: http://tushar-mehta.com/excel/softwa...bel/index.html Bovey's tool is called "XY chart labeller" but it works will all chart types best wishes Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "jlclyde" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Jay- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Bernard, Double clicking is the way to go. I will just format it and add something to the legend to point out why it is different. I would rather not download an add in. thanks for all of youre help on this. Jay |
