Showing Hidden Chart Labels in Excel 2003

**Shadster** · 02-27-2009, 06:47 AM

Hi

Our company has recently upgraded our excel from 2000 to 2003. I have a report that contains numerous bubble charts. Due to some of the points on the chart being outside my scale range I had a number of labels for items that were outside the chart scale.

In 2000 this worked fine and showed the labels pointing off the chart. In 2003 however it is hiding the labels. They are still there but now hidden. Does anyone know if there is a flag that I can check that will show these hidden labels or if there is a work around??

Thanks
Shadster

I'm not aware of any flag or registry setting that will display data labels that have data points outside of the plot area scaling.

Gutted thats what I thought. I had a good look. Its an extremely annoying feature of 2003.

Thanks for moving the post and your speedy response by the way.
