Hi! Is there a way to copy the value shown when I hover over a bar graph bar in Excel using a Visual Basic macro? My chart data is on a separate spreadsheet and I believe is showing the y value of the chart from a certain cell. Can you help with the coding? Any assistance would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!!

What I have tried:

I have tried tweaking a copy and paste macro for sums of highlighted values but don't know how to describe the chart object shown when hovering over the graph with the mouse.
