How to Label Proportional and Ultimate Stresses on Excel Stress-Strain Diagrams?

[Saladsamurai]

EVEN EASIER EXCEL question!

I am a little confused as to how I am supposed to "mark" the proportional and Ultimate stresses on my stress-strain diagrams. I created them with Excels 'insert x-y scatter' function. I cannot find any way to add a text-box though... Any ideas?

I basically just want to add text in on the graph like http://www.ae.msstate.edu/~masoud/Teaching/pics/propor_yeild.gif

I would suggest using the "Add Text" or "Text Box" function in Excel to label the proportional and ultimate stresses on your stress-strain diagrams. This will allow you to add text directly onto the graph, similar to the image you provided. You can also consider using the "Annotations" or "Shapes" options in Excel to label and mark specific points on the graph. Additionally, you can use the "Chart Title" option to add a title to your graph, which can also include the labels for the proportional and ultimate stresses. Overall, there are multiple ways to add text and labels to your graphs in Excel, so I would recommend experimenting with different options to find the one that works best for you.
