    Data labels (depending on 3rd variable) of newly added data points do not show

    Hi guys,

    First post on this forum .


    I have a table with a list of initiatives

    table excelF.PNG


    - First column: the number of the initiatives
    - Second: Description of initiative
    - Third: Type of initiative (3 different types: digital tool, IT change, Process change)
    - Fourth: Impact score (0-5)
    - Fifth: Feasibility score (0-5)

    I made a scatter plot with: Impact score on X-Axis and Feasibility score on Y-Axis. The color of the data point on the scatter plot depends on the type of initiative (This I did by creating different series of the depending score (see last 3 columns of table)) and the value of the data label depends on the number of the initiative. This I simply did by selecting 'label contains value from cells' in the label options.

    Now the problem is that when I add a new initiative in my table, everything updates (new data point on chart in right position with the right color) but it does not show the data label (which depends on the number of the initiative). If you look on the chart the point with the biggest impact does not contain a data label and this is an initiative I created after making my graph. I tried a lot of things but I am not able to fix this. Hopefully you guys can help me with this!

    Thanks a lot!

    EDIT: Just read the forum rules about cross-posting. I posted the same issue on Mr.Excel but cannot show the link because I get an error saying 'You are not allowed to post any kinds of links, images or videos until you post a few times.'

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
