About the XY Chart Labeler

A very commonly requested Excel feature is the ability to add labels to XY chart data points. The XY Chart Labeler adds this feature to Excel. The XY Chart Labeler provides the following options:

Add XY Chart Labels - Adds labels to the points on your XY Chart data series based on any range of cells in the workbook.
Move XY Chart Labels - Moves the entire set of data labels or individual labels in any direction and in the increment of your choosing.
Manual Labeler - When you don't want to label an entire data series, but rather use data labels to highlight specific data points, the manual labeler allows you to do this.
Delete Chart Labels - Allows you to quickly delete data labels from a single chart series or all series on a chart.

Even though this utility is called the XY Chart Labeler, it is capable of labeling any type of Excel chart series that will accept data labels.

New in Version 7.1

Because the XY Chart Labeler was already a mature, stable utility prior to version 7, most new features in this version are background improvements that provide better performance for pre-existing features. However, several new minor features make their debut in version 7.1, including:

64-bit Excel 2010 Compatibility - The XY Chart Labeler is now fully compatible with 64-bit Excel 2010 and 2013.
Ribbon UI - If you are running Excel 2007 or higher the XY Chart Labeler now provides you with an XY Chart Labels tab on the Excel Ribbon.
Delete Chart Labels Feature - Allows you to quickly delete labels from a specified chart series or an entire chart.
