When using $=(round($Y,3)) to limit significant digits for point labels, I noticed that if I'm using $X in the same label, the $X reverts to the the default numeric format. Specifically, when using a time/date formatted X axis, instead of the label printing the $X date in the same format as the X-Axis, you get the Excel numeric date instead. I'd be OK with this if there was something like a "DateFormat(<X>)" function to apply, but right now I have to use two labels if I want X date format and Y data.

Thanks, Richard.

You'd also have that problem with Y if it used some other number format (currency, for example). And there's the problem with automatically handling this. If the equation contains both X and Y, which number format should be used?

I think the answer is probably what you've already mentioned - something like $FORMAT(<expression>,<format code>).

Yes - I realized after I posted that a generic formatting call (like printf) would probably be the best solution. I could set precision where I wanted it (or even completely different formats?). For example, I frequently have plots which have time down to HH:MM on the X axis, but for a label I'm trying to highlight an event down to seconds. And for the Y axis I've run across situations where I'd like to tag a value in decimal or hex when that isn't the format of the Y-axis...

By any chance have you had some time to look at this option more? I think I just ran into another instance where I can't work around the default format... I'm doing an XY bubble plot, and I want to label a point with it's "Z" value, which happens to be a time in this case. The excel value 42018.234 wasn't as informative a label as I would like. Is there any way for me to affect the displayed format? Thanks - R

Oops, this one fell through the cracks. Will get on this one as soon as possible.

Hmmm.... and into the crevasse beneath the cracks?

It won't be in tonight's update, but I'll definitely 100% for sure address this in the next update.

Just wanted to make sure that this was still on the list... Your normal turnaround speed for things like this has me spoiled.

THanks - R
