Any MS Excel Gurus Out There?

What you are looking for is "Data Labels"

Before you make a graph under "Tools" select "Options". Select "Chart",and "show values" OK

or

After the chart is created; select the chart/graph, then Select "chart", "Chart options", Select "Data labels" and "Show Value" OK

Once the values are on the chart, click off the chart. Then Right click on a value and select "Format Data Labels" Select the Label position i.e above.

It is also possible to drag the individual labels to the location you want.

If you want labels that are not the values, you can install an add-on that does it for you. For example, if you keep track of fuel consumption, and you chart the mpg or km/l or whatever as you go along, with you odo reading as the X-axis values, you would typically have in column A the mileage, column B the fuel consumption, & you might want some descrtiption in column C to explain deviations from the norm, such as "Towing heavy load" or "High speed cross-country" or "Sand: 4x4 low range". It is sometimes nice to show this as a label on the graph as well. Quattro Pro used to do it as standard, but not Excel.
