I have a list of names with salaries and lengths of service for each person. Ideally I would like to show these on a scatter graph plotting salary on the y axis against service on the x axis.
This would present a graph of multiple dots showing how salaries progress over time
What I cannot get to work is the name to associate with the individual dots on the graph. It shows the salary and service numbers, but is there a way of it just automatically adding the individual names?
The data is in three columns - service as a decimal number of years (ie 3.02) then salary then the name.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Can you create a "helper column" that would concatenate the data you want (3.02, $50k, John) and use that column as the data labels?
