    I need to place 3 labels on each bar of a chart

    Hello
    I need to place 3 labels on each bar of a chart:Untitled.jpg
    - one is data label above each column of the chart, which is easy;
    - other 2 are texts from cells linked to the data:
    -- one on the upper end of the bar;
    -- another one on the lower end of the bar, - like in the picture.

    Please do not suggest text boxes. I tried and not too happy.
    Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Galina

    The attached shows one way of doing this. It involves adding additional series to the chart, adding data labels to them driven by the data in columns C & D, setting the three sets of data labels to one outside, one inside end and one inside base.
    Then you can overlap the bars so you only see one.

    Good news is it's a quick and simple fix to your issue. Bad news is in Excel 2010 (I think!) you need to set each data label separately, so if you have lots and lots of points on the chart it will be a headache. Although you could probably write some VBA to do that for you...
    In Later versions of Excel you can change all data labels in one go.

    Dear Sandy,
    This video of creating timeline project was really very interesting!
    Although I used the method recommended by BadlySpelledByou, it is inspiring to know how to use unusual capabilities of mighty Excel.
    Thank you very much.

    Dear Sundy,
    I do understand.
    When I try your attachment, I get a black screen with "Add reputation, report post" and nothing can be clicked.
    I suppose problem is in your attachment? Would you like to send it via e-mail?
    Tha.
