Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction please.

Is there a way to find the position of the upper most stacked column within a graph?

The reason i ask is because I have a stacked column graph, i am wanting to have a data label on the upper most column that displays a total all of the values within the stack. The only way i know how to do this is to add a text box to the graph and point that to the relevant value (this bit is working fine).

I need to be able to position this text box so that it always appears at the top of the upper stack. Without the syntax for accessing the bar positions i am stumped (if at all you can do that).

If anyone could let me know or offer a better alternative then it would be sincerely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!!!!!

Thank you very much for the post. Much appreciated.
