    parry2k Indeed there is a category label feature in scatter plot, sorry to not explained correctly.

     

    The reason the option does not show up is probably because you had a non-numerical value/text type column in the X axis. To be clear, if both X and Y axis are numerical field with “Don't summarize”, you should able to turn on the category label. So please check your data type, if you need a non-numerical on x-axis, you may use line chart.

Scatter plot do not support show data label, it could look confuse when many plots are included in the chart, maybe you could use line chart as an alternative.
