axis labels different colors
Hello,
Is it possible to give different axis labels different colors? I have tried changing the colors of the text in the cells in the source spreadsheet range, but it doesn't appear to work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, John

Hi,
You need to create you own axis labels to have more control over the appearance of individual labels. http://www.andypope.info/charts/hiliteaxislabels.htm Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "john lawlor" wrote in message ...

Andy,
My chart is a line chart and the first 10 or so x labels are quarters e.g. Q1 06 n=24, the next 20 are months e.g. 10/06 n=29. Aligned vertically.

Hi John,
Download Rob Boveys chart labeller add-in and it's easy. Create your line chart as normal, and format the x axis to have no labels. Add a dummy series all with value 0 (zero). Colur yourx axis data whichever way you want, and use Robs chart labeller to add he coloured dta labels to the dummy series, and align vertically. Format the dummy series to have no line and no markers.
