Show Series Name on only one data point (chPoint)

[sxzy]

Set label = series.DataLabelsCollection.Add
label.HasSeriesName = true

This will show series name (e.g. "Series1") for every data point in the
whole series. (can get very ugly!!)

To make things clean I would like to show series name only on ONE
particular data point - let's say 5th data point. In Excel this is
possible, how about OWC chart? I've spent hours.

I guess what I'm trying to do is this:

Set label = series.Points(4).DataLabelsCollection.Add
lab.HasSeriesName = true

But that doesn't work. What to do?

Thanks,

Sergey

Thank you Alvin. Kind of disappointing, since adding labels to the
whole series doesn't seem practical at all. They get mushed up and hard
to read.

Question: Why is there functionality to have multiple DataLabels for
one series?
Meaning I can do: series.DataLabelsCollection.Add. Why would anyone
have more then 1 set of data labels for single series?

The flexibility is there so that you can add a label to every point if you
so desired. What you wanted was to add a series name for one point. One
workaround is to turn off all labels and use a datalabel to substitute -
pick a point and draw that datalabel as appropriate. It will accomplish what
you want, just not with the series object.
