I create scatter plots using two values (salary, year of hire) that relate to
particular employees. I want to label each point with the contents of a
third cell (initials of the individual related to the point). I have figured
out how to change the label one point at a time, but I'd like to simply
relate the contents of a third column to the markers defined by two other
columns. Help!!
