    eg text box to be added to comment on the 6th data point. as new data is added the text box will be at that point.
    If I add 3 more data points the text box i placed the 6th e data point would now be move along the chart with the original data point it was dded to. or be able to add text at data point and move with that point
    Hope this can be understood and I can get some help.

    This is an Excel Forum. An Excel sheet as an attachment would be a little more helpful than a word document!!

    I almost always use Rob Bovey's free XY chart labeler add-in for this sort of thing (www.appspro.com ).

    You can add a dummy series to the chart that is on the secondary axis.
    You can then change the secondary horizontal axis labels to use a dynamic range containing text.
    Show data labels with category information.
    Format axis so no text is displayed.

    This will explain why and how to get around linked labels and filtered data.
