Default How do I add a comment to a data point in a chart?

I am needing to add a comment to a specific data point in a chart. For
instance, now when I scroll over a data point the source, series, and value
pop up. I need to change the pop up box to explain the reason for a specific
value. Any suggestions?

One way is to plot an extra data series with just one value -- the same
value as the original series; use the new series name as the data label.

or use the chart labeller in the J-walk chart tools add in:

(but this doesn't affect the pop labels)
