kept in that worksheet. Data labels give you and your colleagues information about data
in a worksheet, but it’s important to format the labels so that they stand out visually. To
make your data labels or any other data stand out, you can change the format of the
cells that hold your data.Include data labels to identify the data in a worksheet.
