scatter plot data point labelling question
Hi,
I have three columns of data: watershed name, acres of original old growth and, % loss of old growth acres. I created a scatter plot that displays the watershed points with the number of acres of original old growth for the Y axis and the % loss for the x axis. Now I would like to use the third column, watershed name, to label these points. I cannot see how to do this and would greatly appreciate any help you have to offer. I exported the plot to a .pdf and labeled a few in photoshop to give you an idea of what i mean: http://www.seawead.org/scatter.jpg Thanks, Bob |

From a previous reply.
There is no built in way to link data labels to cells. But with the aid of this free addin you can do it. http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/ChartLabeler.htm Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "Bob Christensen 3" wrote in message ...
