To add data labels
main topic    example 

1    In the graph dialog box, click Labels.

2    Click the Data Labels tab.

3    Choose one of the following:

·    Use y-value labels to label each point with its y-axis value.

·    Use row numbers to label each point with its worksheet row number. You cannot label histograms or bar charts with row numbers.

·    Use labels from column to label points with values stored in a column. Then, enter a text, numeric, or date/time column that contains the data labels.

If graph data match worksheet rows, as for scatterplot, Minitab matches the label column to the data column by worksheet row number. If graph data are summaries of worksheet values, as for histogram and bar chart, the label column order is left-to-right on the graph. If the label column contains more values than are needed, Minitab ignores the extra labels. If the label column contains less values than are needed, the remaining data values are not labeled.

4    Click OK.
