I use Excel 2007. I have a pivot table set up with a Report Filter showing
all the months of the year.


Is it possible if I select the items from the Report Filter, for example
"Jan" and "Mar", the words "Jan" and "Mar" will be displayed on the Pivot
Chart

Hi,

Yes it is possible, right click on the chart go to, chart options|Data
labels|Click the check box catagory name|Ok. This will make the names Jan,
Feb appear on the chart

Sorry, but not clear on yur instructions.. I selected pivot-chart, From
Layout Group I see the data labels (as you suggest), clicked drop-down -
Checked Category OK

but didn't get the results I was looking for. This should be Dynamic.
Any other thoughts?

Tks,

Jim

If the word "Jan", "Feb", and "March are the names of the catagory then it
should appear. Please correct me if have not understood you

Suleman,

I'm having difficulty (adjust to Ribbon in 2007 at the same time I have my
original problem). When I right click on the chart - I don't see the (goto)
"Chart options", of which you speak, can you give me step by step on this?

Excel 2007
This will show the selected items
of the Report Filter (Page selection)
in the Chart Title header.
Some VBA required.
