    How to Remove Dots from Labels

    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently putting together a bubble chart and need to label each bubble accordingly, however it seems doing so adds another bubble or dot to chart area just in front of the label, which is not only distracting but confusing - see attached.

    Can anyone advise on how these can be removed? Have looked through the Format Label section, but can't figure out how this is done.

    Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you!

    Kind regards,
    G

    Hi Ali,

    If you look at the labels (say Product 11) you'll note that there's a small green dot/bubble just to the left of it. If you move the label anywhere the bubble will follow it - see image.

    Regards,
    G

    You have the Legend Key option enabled on data labels.

    OK - you said "in front of", not "to the left of", so of course I couldn't see them ...

    You have the Legend Key option enabled on data labels.
    Yes, the OP has - if it's deselected, the extra bubbles disappear.
