    Scatter diagram with labels for each 'point' in the scatter

    Hi
    I have been trying to highlight a series of cells & get Excel to draw a scatter diagram, where each point on the scatter ( i.e. a group of two numbers...eg 2, 9 ) can show the label name. I want every point in the scatter to have a unique name.

    However Exel only allows me to show the series name against each point & not the unique name thats shown on the worksheet ( eg...London rainfall, or Manchester rainfall ).

    I found that I can acheive this using a separate data-series for each 'point', but its a very manual solution, as its necessary to enter the three peices of data one by one. I cant find a way to simply highlight my data range & have excel assign cell A as the 'point name', cell B as the first data point & cell C as the second data point in a long series of similar cells.

    Any thoughts ?

    Thanks - would be great if our work PC's were not locked-down to prevent use of unauthorised software.
    Thanks anyway.

    Cheers
