Hi Barbara. Great tip. Note that instead of adding them one at at a time, you can open the format pane for Format Data Labels and select "Value From Cells" and then highlight the entire range. Uncheck "Value" and "Show Leader Lines" and your custom labels will top the columns instead of the series values. Just another way to get there. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up!!

Hello, my results came out with 8 to 10 decimal places (ex: I wanted to maintain 2 decimal (ex: 123.00) places only. I could not find how to limit my decimal point. I tried to use formal cell using numbers, but won't work. Just wondering if you have tricks to address the formula. Thank you for sharing!
