    How to create curved labels for cylinder chart

    Hello Excel friends,
    I have this chart using cylinders and need to place a label on each. Since the cylinders are (virtually) round, I'd like the labels to curve around rather than remain flat.
    Anybody got an idea how I might do that?
    Thanks!

    Looks like the text effects are not available to data labels. You would need to create the data labels using true shapes.
    Cheers

    Thanks Andy - while I didn't really know exactly what you meant by TRUE SHAPES, it did motivate me to experiment.
    I went to Insert > WordArt and found a means to curve the text so that it kinda resembles text wrapping around the cylinder.
    I appreciate your assistance. While I only see the ATTACH code, I hope the image appears online.
