    Unhappy [scatter][how to label different contexts]

    Hello all,

    I'm having a hard time with this:
    I have two suppliers, Adam and George. They sell me the same products monthly with different configurations and different quantities.

    Please see the graph below.

    The problem is that the products already have difficult names (letters) and it's difficult to report to my boss this chart because it's very confusing and I don't have the time to do it manually.

    What I want to do:
    Make every Adam products look the same (e.g. a green ball) and the same for George (e.g. red square).
    The second thing I want to do is to label every dot with their correspondent name.

    Please find the excel file attached below.
    Adam and George.xlsx

    Can anyone help me???

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! :D

    You can use this free addin to link data labels to cells.

    You probably want to alter the layout of your data so Adam and George's data is in a column rather than spread out. I assume you created that data layout in order to get unique series name for data labels.

    Thank you
    But this doesn't work for me since I must run the addin for EACH label every time I do this.

    Not sure what you mean. You will need to apply labels to the 2 series.
