Hello All,
I have a scatter plot which lists 'series 1' in the label. I wish the data label to list 'Area' i.e. test 1, test 2 for their pertinent data point.

Rob Bovey's free XY chart labeler add-in (appspro.com click on free utilities) usually makes short work of this kind of thing.

On the Label Options tab, select what you want displayed in the data labels and where you want it placed.
Click Close and your choices will be applied.

thanks for the suggestion, however; those are the steps I've taken already to arrive at each point label 'Series 1'. When I select data into Series 1 (right click on chart and 'Select Data') and enter the data range I want, each data point reflects each label. resulting the attached.

Rather than pictures, how about posting a workbook with what you actually want the result to be.
Following the procedure as I laid it out, I easily produced the result that you said that you wanted in your question2.jpg
Sorry, I've never down the attachment thing on here. Very interested to see you got it to work.
I must say step 2 (bolded) doesn't seem to appear for me.
Click on a data point to select the data points in the chart.
Right click on a data point and select ADD DATA LABELS
Right click on a data point and select FORMAT DATA LABELS
On the Label Options tab, select what you want displayed in the data labels and where you want it placed.
Click Close and your choices will be applied.

thanks for all your help!
The Add Data Labels doesn't show because you already have data labels.
The chart was too small to be readable. I enlarged it and the font so it is easier to read.
ndm - I really appreciate your efforts but this in not what is in image 2. Rathr than The data labels for x axis and y axis, what I wish to see are the corresponding 'area' i.e. 'test 1', 'test 2' .
So for top data point (12.6%| 1,565,155.09) it should rather read 'test 14'.
This is a plot of your data with the TEST number (Format Data Labels X axis).
The problem with this chart is that plotting both values isn't practical because of the vast difference between the % values and the other values. The series for the % just comes out as a straight line.....useless when combined with the other values. A chart for each series would probably be more useful. So, there are two charts enclosed.
These charts show the test number which is done by following the procedure that I gave but selecting only the X axis.

You need to google "secondary axis".

Using a secondary axis is possible but the result is very confusing as each item then has two data points on the chart, one for the % and one for the Value. If the secondary axis was for a different chart type it could likely make perfect sense. A good combination would be a column chart with a scatter chart with lines and markers.
Something like this
