Default Retrieve Text of Data Point

I have a set of charts which display a percentage in a pie chart.

On certain charts I would like to be able to control the color of a pie
slice based on what the item's name is.

For instance, if I have 3 charts that all list a status and an
associated count then I would want
"Status A" to be Red in all charts, "Status B" to be Blue in all
charts, etc.

I know I can change the color of the data label using the Interior
object, but how do I know which Point is associated with which Status?
The text of the Data Lable is a percentage, so that is of no direct,
reliable help.

Any suggestions for matching up Points in a Series to the actual data?

Thanks!
jc
