Hi

I have a stacked column chart with the data source being a pivot table (note the chart is not a pivot chart it s just linked to the data source). I want to show the data label for each stacked column where the value is >0. I only seem to have the option of show all data labels or hide all data lables. I can do them one by one but I have a lot and would be so much quicker if there was a way to do it auomatically.

Help!

THanks
Andy
 
Yes AlphaFrogs macro worked perfectly.
Your suggestion works fine if you want the data value to show in the stack chart but I don't want the data value (the size of the stacks gives me an idea of the value). What I want is the name of the series in the y axis (i.e. the data label) showing in the stack chart.
I want to use it to monitor effort (days spent working on) made on certain projects.
So at a glance for a given preriod I know Mr A has worked on 4 projects and by looking at Mr As stack I can see what projects he's been working on and by the size of his stacks where he has spent most of his time. them the next stack would be for Mr B and so on.
