I am a scientist and would like to use Excel to graph data. I know many people who use Excel graphing. However, Excel graphing will not let you use symbols in the Titles, in the axes labels, or in the data units. Guess what, if you are a scientist or a high school student, symbols are extremely important. Symbols should be included in the Excel graphing function. Thanks for listening.

I had a similar desire and with some effort was able to get it working in Excel 2007. Here are several ideas:
- In Excel 2007, choose 'Insert', then the 'Symbol' menu. It will bring up a dialog boxlike this one. You can see I chose the subset 'Greek and Coptic', and the 'Unicode (hex)' options. Then pick the desired Greek letter:
- Another hint: If you type a 'q' in an Excel cell then change the font to 'symbol' it should display the Greek letter theta. Similarly, a 'p' will show as pi.
- You may have better luck formatting a number as text and taking advantage of the TEXT() function's flexibility. Here's a screenshot of what I did to get a display of fractions of pi. Again: choose the 'Symbol' font for the cell format and use the letter 'p' to get 'pi'.

Here's a final screenshot of what I was able to pull together. You can see the Greek letters in the chart title, legend, and horizontal axis labels. It took some effort, and I agree that Excel could make it easier than they do --- but it's definitely possible; good luck to you!

In some ways, Excel seems like a 'poor relative' to Word. (Just in some ways, mind you.) One such way is evident when you want to insert a symbol into a cell. In Word, you can easily insert a symbol by choosing Symbol from the Insert menu. In Excel, there is no such comparable menu option.
So how do you get special symbols into Excel? One way, of course, is to switch over to Word and insert the symbol in the document. You can then copy the character and paste it into Excel. There is a better way, however, even though it is somewhat related. This involves using the old tried-and-true method of using the Character Map accessory in Windows itself. Simply start the accessory by choosing Programs from the Start menu, then choosing Accessories, and finally choosing Character Map. In the resulting dialog box you can pick any font and character installed on your system.
When you double-click on a symbol, or select a symbol and click on Select, the symbol is copied to the area at the top-right of the dialog box. When you later click on Copy, all the information in the box is copied to the Clipboard. At this point it is a simple process to return to Excel and paste the contents of the Clipboard (the symbols) to your worksheet.
What makes using the Character Map better than using Word in the long run is that the Character Map also shows the keystroke necessary to reproduce the character. (It is at the bottom-right corner of my version of Character Map.) These keystrokes will work in any Windows program. Some of them require holding down the Alt key as you enter a code on the numeric keypad. Others simply require typing a letter. In any case, you will need to make sure that the character you enter in this way is formatted using the typeface shown in the Character Map.
