About the XY Chart Labeler

A very commonly requested Excel feature is the ability to add labels to XY chart data points. The XY Chart Labeler adds this feature to Excel. The XY Chart Labeler provides the following options:

Add XY Chart Labels - Adds labels to the points on your XY Chart data series based on any range of cells in the workbook.
Move XY Chart Labels - Moves the entire set of data labels or individual labels in any direction and in the increment of your choosing.
Manual Labeler - When you don't want to label an entire data series, but rather use data labels to highlight specific data points, the manual labeler allows you to do this.

Even though this utility is called the XY Chart Labeler, it is capable of labeling any type of Excel chart series that will accept data labels.

New in Version 7.0

Because the XY Chart Labeler was already a mature, stable utility prior to version 7, most new features in this version are background improvements that provide better performance for pre-existing features. However, several new minor features make their debut in version 7, including:

Smart Selection - If you select the chart series, data point or label you want to operate on, the XY Chart Labeler will recognize the selection and pre-select the appropriate entries in its dialogs.
Active Selection - As you select chart series and data points in the various chart labeler dialog dropdowns, the objects you select will also be selected in the chart below, so you can see exactly what you'll be modifying.
Larger Dialogs - The width of all XY Chart Labeler dialogs has been increased in order to improve the display of wide entries.
Automation - In this version, the core chart series labeling logic has been exposed as a public function that can be called from other Excel VBA programs.
Help File - A comprehensive help file and example files have been created for this version.
