Customize Labels Scatter Chart

Hello all! 

 

I would like to create customized data labels in my scatter chart. I am aware of the categories function but this function only indicates the actual values of the data point. Is it possible to create customized data labels? 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Best,

Julian

You can create add an additional column with required label names and drop it in the Detail part of the Visual and turn on the Category Label like:

This is not a solution and should not be marked as one. It's 2024 and there is no longer a "Details" section. What now?

Hello,

thanks for the reply - of course. 

 

Imagine a scatter chart. I have values for the x-axis and y-axis. These values are represented as data points in the chart. I can use the categories function to make their actual values visible (see picture). However I would like to name the data points according to my own wishes, e.g. Paris, London or Berlin. ExampleExample

Greetings,

Julian
