Post subject: data labels in 2007 Archived from groups: microsoft>public>excel>charting (more info?)
In 2003 I used to be able to hover over a data point on a chart and it would
give me the value... in 2007 it seems I am not able to do that... is that
correct? how can I see the data point value on my chart without double
clicking on it... want to just hover over it

Apparently it doesn't work unless you activate the chart.

Hi,
Check the options,
Show chart element names on hover
Show data point values on hover

I have both those options checked. Strange... I actually have to select the
series and then hover... which I don't want to have to do

The chart needs to be selected, as Jon stated.
But for me the tooltip appears without the actual series being selected.

I have found dozens of little stupid things like this that don't work the
way they used to. Not exactly bugs, I guess, but not exactly working right.
I think they were rushed into releasing Excel 12 with a beta-quality
charting system. I'm hoping they have a chance to fix it in Excel 14.

Jon, could you expand on what you have found? I have a page at my site I am
updating and would like to list some of those problems.
