Add text in addition to primary?

Larry,
There is only one label available.
You set it in the Project Settings | Timeline Display
However, because you can change it, you can use any column you chose and when you add the JOIN() functionality, can often get what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

I'll add to what Craig has said Larry, and say that if the label column holds data that is concatenated from several other columns you can get the Gantt label to say pretty much whatever you want it to say.
Hope that helps?

Just to add to this—be careful when printing if you're going to concatenate data in one cell and use that as the label.
Our Gantt chart printing focuses on the length of the bars to determine the cut off point, and has been known to cut off text from the Gantt labels if they're long. (And there isn't a specific character count cut off point that I can provide.)

Hi,
Is there a way to add text in the gantt chart "cells". I am required to show monthly cash flow and the quantities of physical progress. I want to show these values on a monthly basis under each activities' gantt -bar . How would I go about this?
Thank you

"under"? No. To the right? Yes.
You can assign any column to the label for display on the Gantt chart. Find this under Project Settings | Timeline Display.
You can use the JOIN() function or string concatenation (+) to combine text or values from several columns into a single column and then display that column. Unfortunately, you can't trick it into wrapping the text in the Gantt chart. I've tried.
