Line charts: Moving the legends next to the line
- Aug 05, 2017
With data labels you may simplify the procedure. Click on line, it shows you data points, when click on one point (other ones wan't be shown) and from right click Add data label
Into the box which appears you may put any text and format it as you want
If you have data labels initially just format the data label for one of points on your choice.
If more than one line in the line chart, display the data labels, then in the data label options use "series name" instead of "values", then remove the undesired data labels retaining only the one you need.
Yeah, that's an idea too, but if you have LOTS of data points, it can be a good deal of work. But thanks for the idea. I'll try it.....

Ok. I see your "point." I can do that, but it's too bad it's not easier. Thanks so much for the help.

Okay, but that's the only workaround i know
