BUG in Excel 2007 - Plot charts w/data labels

External Since: Jul 27, 2009 Posts: 1

To duplicate this bug, create a chart with two lines with an x-axis
that contains consecutive dates. Then, add a plot chart series (again
with date x-axis) and add data labels to it. IMPORTANT: Then, change
the plot chart to plot using the primary axis. Finally, save and
reopen the file. The data labels disappear and you cannot re-add them.

Hello Blake,
I would love to investigate this but I need more info.
Please define "plot chart"
When you say "Then, add a plot chart series (again with date x-axis) and add
data labels to it" do you mean add a series to the existing chart using
PasteSpecial?
Why do we need to change to primary x-axis; will this not be automatic
Maybe you could send me a sample file - get my email address from my website
best wishes
