Select the point you want to label (two single clicks, one for the series,
one for the point itself). Press Ctrl+1 to format the point, then add a data
label using the Series option. This point will carry the series name as its
label, even if the data or the series name change.

In 2007, select the point (two clicks again). Go to the Chart Tools Layout
tab, click on Data Labels More Data Label Options, choose the Series Name
option.

I need to label a data series on an XY Scatter. Currently Excel only has
the
option to label and individual point with the series name, I want to label
the entire series of points just once with the series name, even if inputs
are changed.
