You can do this using the Chart Options.

Either click on ChartOptions while you have the chart selected, or
right-click on the chart then choose "Chart Options" from the right-click
menu. Then go to the Data Labels tab. Play with the checkboxes on that tab
to see which one gives you the result you want.

Happy Charting!

Hi
If I plot a graph in excel with the following data

Name Score1 Score2
fred 12 23
john 22 22
pete 38 33
erica 33 33
jo 33 22

I make a scatter graph and have score one as one axis and score two as the
second axis. This produces little dots on the graph to represent where these
are. Is there a way now to add Name to these points, for example 12,23 on
the graph would have the Name Fred against it, 38,33 would have the name
Pete etc.

I can do this manually by placing a small text box near each, but surely
there is a way to do this automatically.

Please tell me there is

Dave
