Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for data labels, values, and percentages.

For area, column, line, and scatter charts you can choose to display the numerical value that each data point represents or the name of the series to which each belongs, but not both.

For pie charts, you can choose to display percentages next to each pie slice.

To display data labels, values, or percentages (pie charts only) next to data points on the chart:

  Make the Chart window active.   Choose Data Labels from the Format menu.   Click your choice. You have three options, four for pie charts:   Show Value displays the numerical value of each data point above each one.   Show Label displays series’ names above the last data point in each series.   None removes all existing data labels from the chart.   Show Percent displays percentages next to each pie slice.  </li></ol>
