Need Text Data Labels on Scatter Chart
I have a scatter chart that I'm trying to use to show the scatter of different items. If I turn on category labels, the only thing that shows are the values of the X-Y coordinates, which is already shown by the layout of the chart so I don't need them displayed at each data point. I want to display the name of each item, which is in a different column in my Sharepoint list. Where can I enable showing the name of each item in my chart?
That's standard functionality. Remember that both X and Y axis need to be fed by measures, not columns.

Hello thuper
Drag the numerical columns to the X-Axis and Y-Axis fields in the Visualizations pane.
Drag the column containing the item names (e.g., “Item Name”) to the Details field. This step links each data point to its corresponding name.Ans turn on Category Label
It should work.
thanks

This got it! Thank you.
I had 'sum' turned off because I did not want them grouped, but they're still individual if I use Sum as you recommended here. Doesn't make sense to me, but this is what I needed.
