Hi,

I'm pretty good at using excel, and VBA macro, so I'm not a compelte
newbie.  But I am having issues trying to change/link the data labels
to a 3rd series of points.

I have download an excel sheet (that has no macros) that contans a XY
scatter plot.  It labels it's points with a 3rd series somehow but I
can't figure it out.  I know you can label each point with the y or x
data, and I know there is a add-in package to do this, but my company
is against using 3rd party add ins.  But why use an add-in package if
we don't need to?  It just seems microsoft has hidden this in there
manuals etc.

Does anyone know how to do this (without an add-in?).  Ie I have 3
columns of data. column 1 is the x data, column 2 is the y data, and
column 3 are to be the data labels for each point on the scatter plot.

Help?

Thanks in advance.

Jack
