edit chart datapoint tooltip
(Using Excel 10.1.8 on Mac OSX)
Is there any way yet of changing the text of the tooltip which appears when the mouse hovers over a datapoint in an Excel Chart? I know there are solutions using Chart_MouseMove and showing and hiding labels, (Mehta Tushar's add-in?), but this is a bit slow and causes the text in the "Name box" to continually flicker as the MouseMove is fired. What I really want is a scattergraph where each point represents a person (whose name should appear in the tooltip when the mouse moves over). The only way I can think of 'editing' the tooltip is to plot each point as a separate series and give them the relevant names (and just suffer the extra "Series..." and data value parts of the tooltip). If anyone knows how the tooltip can be accessed please let me know. Thanks |

edit chart datapoint tooltip
The reason Tushar wrote his add-in is that there's no way to alter the
chart-tip text. Whatever flickering you see is unavoidable. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "daithi" wrote in message ps.com...

edit chart datapoint tooltip
Yes, I assumed there was no way of editing the tool-tip when Tushar
wrote the add-in. I was wondering if there is now, but I take it there still isn't. Thanks again Daithi |
