Excel Chart: 5 Useful Answers on Excel Chart from Popular Excel Forums (1)
Q: How to add multiple data labels to one chart series in Excel?
A: Excel does not support multiple data labels by itself.

The left of the following picture is the normal scenario and the right one is a different one. (Please see the green arrow!)
