    Protect sheet and edit Objects

    In Excel 2007 is there a way to protect a sheet and edit the data lables on a pie chart? I cannot seem to get this to work

    Just to add, I am able to delete the labels but cannot move them

    Not sure if my first post went through... I think I am having the same issue. I need to keep a sheet protected but also need it to be flexible so that users can format the appearance of the charts on the page. Really, all I need is for the users to be able to move the pie chart labels.

    As an fyi, I can edit the chart labels, edit the contents of the chart, but can't move them. I have the following exceptions enabled for the protections on my sheet: Alow Users to: select locked cells, select unlocked cells, format columns, edit objects, edit scenarios.

    Thanks to anyone who can help!
