The XY Chart Labeler provides the following features:

- Add XY Chart Labels - You can add labels to the points on your XY Chart data series from any selected range in the workbook. The label range can be oriented vertically or horizontally; named ranges are also supported. The labeler will pick up and apply the source range formatting characteristics to the data labels as well as live-link the data labels to the source range. Chages in the source range text will be immediately reflected in the corresponding data label.
- Move XY Chart Labels - You can move the entire set of data labels or single specific labels in 1 point increments in any direction. Movement is dynamic, accomplished by the use of an arrow dialog, so you can see the results of your movements as you press the arrow keys.
- Manual Labeler - There are times 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. As with the normal Add Labels function, you can specify a range to use for the label. The manual labeler also allows you to type in label text directly.

And the best part of all is that 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. The specific labeling options that are available will vary depending on the chart type of the series you're attempting to label.
