Help with Charting Data

Hi, I could use someones help.

I have a list of data in 3 columns, one is a list of models of cars, the second and third column are the corresponding price and wheelbase.

i.e.

Honda Accord / 2,800 mm / $32,400
Honda Civic / 2,700 mm / $26,380
.
.
.

I am trying to show price on the Y axis, wheelbase on the X axis and then have the "name" of the model displayed in the corresponding xy location within the chart. I need to plot about 40 models along the wheelbase and price grid.

I tried pivot table but all it gives me is the 'count' but I need the name displayed. Please help.

For each row of data you need to add a series to a scatter chart. Use the name of the car cell for the series name.

Then on chart options select Series Name under Data Labels.

Example attached.
