    Smile Labelling Data Points on a Scatter Plot

    My data is:

    Obs x y
    1 4 6
    2 6 10
    3 9 11

    How can I create a scatter plot and label the points with the observation #?

    I know this can be done with vba but I am looking for a spreadsheet solution.

    You would need to create a series for each set of points. The you can use the Series Name in the data label.

    There is a free addin to do this, which uses vba, but does not require code in the actual workbook.
