Pie chart labels (Office 2007)
I want to add labels to my segments along side the pie, rather than as a
legend at the side, eg, Category A £100, Category B £50 etc. Please can you advise.

Pie chart labels (Office 2007)
Using XL2003 or earlier? Then in Step 3 of Chart Wizard open Label tab and
check the two boxes Category and Value (or Category and Percent, as needed) Then remove legend best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "E" wrote in message ...

No, I'm in Office 2007 so there is no Wizard.

Pie chart labels (Office 2007)
Hi,
In 2007 we are all going to want to start using the right mouse button more because most of these context menus have been highly enhanced. For example, you can do what you want by right clicking the pie and choosing Add Data Labels. You can modify them also with one step - right click any data label and choose Format Data Labels. Its a good thing they added these and many other commands to the right-mouse button, because they took double-clicking away. What were they thinking? -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "E" wrote: I want to add labels to my segments along side the pie, rather than as a legend at the side, eg, Category A £100, Category B £50 etc. Please can you advise.

Pie chart labels (Office 2007)
Hi Shane
Long ago I started to use right clicking for many tasks, so 2007 is fine with me. For some reason I have stopped telling about right click when answering here - thanks for the reminder -- Bernard "ShaneDevenshire" wrote in message ...
