Excellent, Thank You.

I have read several references to this XY-scatter series, now I will have to see if our IT department will let me use it. I tried explaining what I was looking for to a friend and realized the existing limitation came from using a stacked bar graph. I made the base of the stack transparent leaving only the variance and had forgotten that a full stack was still present... So this will let me reference cells with the data label values I want conveyed and then reference other cells that tell it where on the graph to position the labels?

I am excitied to try this out. It may take a while to get through IT but I will report back when I get the chance to play with this.

Cheers
