Default X-Axis Labels

I had this problem years ago, but do not remember what the answer was, or if
there even was an answer. I fear I am missing something obvious - if so,
please indulge the question that follows and I beg your forgiveness in
advance:

I am trying to apply X-Axis Labels to a simple bar chart (5 points). I wish
the five lables to be applied either above or one their respective bars.
When I enter the data range (e.g.: =Statistics!$B$6:$B$11) to the field
"Category (x) Axis Labels:" only the first (in the example, $B$6) is applied
- to all five bar-points. If I attempt to enter a manual range (e.g. "one",
"two", "three", etc.) in the field, again, only the first label is applied to
all five bar-points.

I have tried pretty much ever variation of chart option and label option I
could think of, to no avail. Thank you in advance for any help the Community
might offer.
