On the site

http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/GanttChart.html

are given some examples of how to make arbitrary gridlines (no problem)
with labels (big problem). One of the examples is called Livestock, and
here is given an instruction:

"Add labels in 'Label' column to dummy series added above"

but no clue whatsoever on HOW to do it, which i find pretty strange as
this is exactly what the whole show is all about.

Can anyone give a hint?

Let me check the example. It should be telling you to download one of
these free and very useful chart labeling add-ins:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com/ss

Both are pretty much self-explanatory.

OK, I have not found that about downloading the Add-in, but I did that
and now it works. Thank you!
 
It works perfectly, thanks for the tip.

Around ten years ago this was easily done in Lotus 123. Working in a
test and development department I made myself a chart to follow a
Weibull distributed failure development, just as your example with the
probability chart. After we were forced to change to Excel it has
annoyed me, that I could only make this chart in an awfully clumsy
manner with a textbox containing the labels.
