You create a scatter plot with each point as a different series. In the tab for source data, there’s a place where you can add different series. Originally these will say “Series1″,”Series2″, etc., but there’s a place where you can make it get the data for the name of each one. This is obviously very manual and time-consuming. However, if you had to do 100 charts with the same number of points, you’d only have to set this up once. Of course, you could further automate the chart creation with a macro (perhaps similar to what the plugin does).

Thank you for posting that link to the Microsoft website.
I admit that I’ve never used Visual Basic before, and I’m sure that it is way over my head, but even though the instructions weren’t perfectly clear, I got the exact chart that I wanted.

Thank you very much!

Then change to all commands to find “add-ins” that will put a new icon up on that top bar. When you open that and browse that’s how you find out where the program you download should go. Appros goes to a different folder. So copy just the add-in file from the appros folder into the add-in folder (using my computer and/or my documents). After that the XY labels appeared in my add-ins.

Some things I like about Office 2007 but stuff like this DRIVES ME CRAZY! Where is the add-in?
