Default Labelling data points in a scatter chart


I'm having trouble editing data points to include text labels on what these
data points represent. I'm using a scatter chart and have plotted the points
to be just where I need them. I now need to attach text to each data point
describing what it represents. Is this possible?

Many thanks,
Iain

Hi,

There is no built in way to link data labels to cells. But with the aid of
this free addin you can do it.
