Point Labels - $Y2

I tried to use, "$X, $Y, $Y2" in the point label box just to see if it would work. I had a Y2 axis assigned with a C + D*Y1 setup.

I actually got a result without a crash, but it doesn't make any sense.

Also tried the formula, $=($Y*15.4324). Again, not a correct result.

Looks like it might be picking up the first point in the series.

Only 1 curve with 5 points. Thought it might be nice to show the conversion at each of the five points.

Just pushing the envelope...

Unfortunately you can only use $Y once in a label, otherwise your second form would work.

This will work: "$X, $=($Y*15.4324)", but I understand that's not what you want. I'll look into it. Off the top of my head I can't think of a good reason for this limitation.

David,

Yes, I tried the "$X, $=($Y*15.4324)" and found that would work, but what I was really looking for was something like "$X, $Y, $=($Y*15.4324)". That's why I was hoping "$X, $Y, $Y2" would work. I did notice that the second $Y didn't seem to work correctly.

Is it only point labels where only one $X and one $Y work?

It is the only place those work at all, without the qualifying (curve index,point index).
