Default labeling data points on a scatter chart

Hey guys.

I need some help with my scatter diagram im using for a marketing
assignment, about cars.

So i have thee collums, the 1st is the car type e.g. "Mustang" and the 2nd
is the torque e.g. "300" and lastly then the Price e.g. "20 000"

What i want, is for each data point on the scatter chart to have the cars
name next to it.

Using the the e.g. data/figures above, i would have at the point (300, 20
000) the word "mustang" next to it.

Help: How do i do this?

Thanx guys!!!

Default labeling data points on a scatter chart

After plotting the X and Y values, you can use a third party labeling
utility. Here are two free Excel add-ins that will do the trick:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com

Both are easy to install and use, and work seamlessly within Excel's user
interface.
