Default Using different values for data labels

I am charting data, but would like to use different data as my labels. For
example, I want to chart a value (say, $100), but I want the data label to be
a different value (say, 20% because my $100 represents 20% of something not
being charted). Is there a way to point the data labels to other values
within my worksheet?

Thanks,

Try one of these
Rob Bovey's XY Chartlabeler (www.appspro.com) works on other chart types as
well
or John Walkenbach's Chart Tools (www.j-walk.com).

Apps Pro has a free Excel add-in XY Chart Labeler

It will do exactly what you are asking for.

Default Using different values for data labels

I have been using the ChartLabeler from appspro.com that by the way it is
fantastic!!!!!!. in all my charts to add difference kind of labels
However, I have noticed that every time I have new data to load in my chart
the chartlabeler does not update automatically the new points loaded in the
graph.
I have more than 30 graphs in this file and I have to add the label again to
each graph to get the new point with the label.

Do you know if there is any way to automate this chartlabeler?
I will appreciate you helping with this matter.
