Bubble chart labels on x axis
I am trying to build a bubble chart using data formatted as "General" as the
x axis label. When I create the chart, the labels are converted to numbers in the chart. Can you tell me how to fix this issue so the x axis shows the actual label of the data rather than a number? |

Hi,
Bubble chart are designed to plot numbers on both axes and number to control the size of the bubble. Don't know that there is a workaround for this, because you can't combine bubble charts with other chart types. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "mrogge2895" wrote: I am trying to build a bubble chart using data formatted as "General" as the x axis label.

Hi,
You can use another bubble series and it's data labels to build an arbitrary axis, rather than the usual xy-scatter series because as you point out bubble charts don't do combinations. Format the bubble to have no fill or border. You will find more information on building a arbitrary axis here, http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ArbitraryAxis.html Use Rob's add-in to link data labels to cells. http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/ChartLabeler.htm Cheers Andy mrogge2895 wrote: I am trying to build a bubble chart using data formatted as "General" as the x axis label.
