Graphic with text boxes
Hi, I seem to have a problem. I am charting the performance of stocks
with the change in recommendations of analysts. So I build a simply line chart (which I have automated). I am including text boxes on top of the graphic which have a line pointing down to a date on the chart line. The attached word file shows an example of what the graphic looks like. The problem is: when I update the graphic and add new price data, the chart line shifts to the left (because I'm charting more data now) but the text boxes and lines do not move with the graphic (I want the boxes and lines to move with the charted graph. Does anyone know how to do this. Basically, fix the line to the date (lock the edit points on each end) Thank you, --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Graphic with text boxes
You can add a data label to a specific point, and the label will move
with the point. You can't stick a connecting line to the label and point, however. Select the series, then the point (two single clicks). Choose Selected Data Point from the Format menu (or press Ctrl-1, numeral one), click on the Data labels tab, and add a label. If you want something other than the choices provided, pick any choice, then manually edit the text of the resulting label. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services http://PeltierTech.com/Excel/Charts/ _______ Bourbon wrote: Hi, I seem to have a problem.
