    Scatter Graph to show data along side scatter points

    Hello,

    So I have made a scatter graph using the data C3:D16. Column C shows the X axis probability and column D shows the Y axis Impact.

    So making this table is no problem. I somehow want to add in Column B (Reference) which will show along side the scatter point on the graph.

    So for example, ref 03704-RI-029 should be next to point Probability 4 and impact 5 on the graph.

    I somehow presume this is very simple and is something to add in the data source section.

    Any help would be great.

    Many Thanks

    example 25.xlsx

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

    You will need to manual position the data labels to avoid overlap for shared data points.

    Hello,

    OK this will work - however what about when I share the workbook? Will other peolpe be able to see the labells? Can they update it or do they need to install the add-on?

    Thanks

    End users will not require the addin to view any charts you create.
    They will though need it if they extend or create their own charts.

    An alternative is to create each data point as a series and then you can use the Series Name option of a normal data label.
