Then you can choose to display all data labels as their series names or else
In order to reasonably add unique labels toĭata points, I found the easiest way was just to code a macro that wouldĬreate a new series for each point (don't worry, I've included the code), and I'm pretty sure I used to be able to select a text box and then by using the arrow keys get it to move in small increments into place, but in Excel '08 the arrow keys change the object of focus instead, which isn't helpful at all. I know that there is a similar problem when adjusting column widths in word tables, but by pressing a button (I believe it's the option key) while grabbing the slider you are able to make adjustments of width down to 0.01 inches. It currently either ignores my slight adjustments, or over compensates and moves the text box much further than I want it to. If it's not possible to do this automatically, is there at least a way to force excel into giving me more precision in placing my text boxes. I know that it should be possible because Keynote does it automatically, however keynote still doesn't allow error bars so I'm forced to use MS Office to generate my charts. It may not sound like it matters but when it doesn't line up correctly it's incredibly obvious to me. What I'm trying to do is get the edited text box to center above or below the associated data point. That being said, is their any way to get text boxes to line up in a defines position relative to their data point. This probably includes anyone in the life sciences. First, I want to say that the lack of an option to easily add custom data point labels is a major PitA for anyone who routinely performs multiple comparison tests (ie Tukey's HSD, Bonferroni correction, Scheffe, etc).
