Chart Data Labels, text label displayed with "Show category"

There was a bug report about displaying data labels, which are pulled from a cell range: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132280

It appears to me that the passages in Help and Calc Guide might benefit from more elaboration on this topic.

Just thought I would throw this out here immediately for feedback. I can do a patch for Help, if someone comes up with a proposal.

Thanks Ilmari.

As you are aware, the Calc Guide is currently being updated for LO7. I'll revisit Chapter 3 (Creating Charts and Graphs) to include some clarification.

All,

I have included a suitable note in Chapter 3 of the draft 7.0 Calc Guide. The proposed text is in the latest version of the file in the relevant Draft folder in Nextcloud (I did the edit with change tracking on, so it's easy to find).

Felipe, as you kindly performed the first review of this chapter, please could you inspect the change and let me know if you spot any problems with it? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Steve

Hello Steve,

Just took a look at the changes made in Chapter 03.
I believe that the author of the bug report did manage to add the cell
range for the data labels, but the *Show category* option was not selected.
In that case, I think your text suggestion does cover his doubt and gives
even more instructions about inserting labels in a XY(Scatter) / Bubble
charts. Looks good to me.

Best regards,
Felipe Viggiano
