hi Jon,

Is it possible for you to provide atleast the VBA source code or the complete addin example as a download in the meantime? i need to see the final result and maybe implement some of its functionality to what i have in mind…

Regards.

Eijaz -

I will return to writing very soon. That’s the easiest of the items you mention.

Preventing overlap of labels is very difficult. A number of years ago Andy Pope (http://andypope.info) wrote a routine that would readjust label positions, and it worked okay, but I don’t know if it’s still available.

Connecting labels to datapoints can be done following the (tedious) protocol in Callout Labels with XY Line Segments.

Hi Jon,

can u provide the remaining final chapters (6,7,8,9) for this tutorial?

Also do you have any code example for adjusting datapoints text labels in a chart showing too many datapoints, so that they donot overlap each other and also adjust the label font effectively so that the labels donot spread outside the chart boundary and also show how to add line connectors from datapoints to their corresponding label.

Best regards.
