Adding Data Labels to the Charts

Data labels make a chart easier to understand because they show details about a

data series or its individual data points. For example, in the pie chart below, without the
data labels, it would be difficult to tell the which food item is ordered most.

To add the data labels follow the steps below:

1. Click the data series or chart. To label one data point, after
clicking the series, click that data point.

2. In the upper right corner, next to the
chart, click Add Chart Element > Data

Labels.
3. To change the location, click the arrow,

and choose an option. You can play
around with different options where you

would want your data labels to appear
