Chart Axis Labels as Symbols

[luckyajr]

Hello,

I have a bar chart and I want to label the vertical axis labels as symbols.
I have a font icon in which the symbols come from the "private use area" subset of the font. I reference several other parts of the worksheet to these symbols, and it works just fine. However, when I reference the axis label of the bar chart to the symbols, it doesn't display them (it instead displays rectangular boxes).

Is this possible to reference the axis labels as the symbols?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

- The page below shows how to use data labels from a dummy series to customize axis labels
- With Excel 2013, you can populate data labels from a range
- Try inserting the symbols on the worksheet and transferring them to the chart in this way
