    klippie  Try inserting the data to here. I am guessing the second picture is what you looking for.

Thanks, but I have found that.  But need to change the actual label.  It is using my xy coords and I want names for the points.  I see that I must add it to details but I dont have that option.  So that is what I am looking for.

    I see this is exactly what I want.  I tried making an index column and then do I use the column I want to use for the labels?  It still gives me the same error.  the column is the index column that I added and holeNum the "name" i want to use.

      the error is regarding the sum.

       

      Try switching to sum or unsumarrise on X and Y value .
