I am using a rotated bar chart to show the following data:

Excel Workbook
ABCDE
1*POORFAIRGOODEXCELLENT
2Preserving open space land**2*
3Providing opportunites for recreation**2*
4Overall quality of preserves**2*
5Managing natural resources*1.9**
6Overall job*1.9**
Performance Rating


I would like to have the scale (Poor to Excellent) shown along the bottom (X) axis, instead of the 1-3 numerical scale which currently shows.

Thanks for any suggestions?

Answering my own question.... :) The only solution I have found so far is to put a text box below the axis with the information.

If anyone comes up with a more elegant solution, please feel free to post it!
