    option to add asterisk indicating statistical signficance in char.

    it would be nice to have an option in excel to add asterisks to charts like
    bar graphs to indicate statistial significance. currently i copy the graph to
    powerpoint, insert text and use the graph. however, it would be cleaner to be
    able to go under format data series and tell excel to insert a asterisk or
    other notation above the error bars.

    You can add data labels to a chart series, or just a point. Double click on
    the series, or select a single point (two single clicks) and double click,
    then notice the Data Labels tab. If you want an option that's not listed
    (i.e., not just the series name or the X or Y values), you can edit the data
    label text. If you want to enter a whole series worth of custom text from
    another range of cells on the worksheet, try one of these handy (and free)
