To edit the data labels, select the information to show for each data label from the corresponding data label drop-down list. Select the Insert Drop-down List button to insert more data labels if the existing ones cannot meet your requirement. To delete a data label, select it and press Backspace on the keyboard.
To insert an iterator after an existing iterator, select on the existing iterator to select it, then press the Enter key on the Keyboard. You can edit the content in a selected chart iterator, such as adding, deleting, or modifying markers and text segment in it. To edit the properties of an iterator, select it, right-click on the blank space and select Chart Iterator from the shortcut menu to edit the iterator in the Chart Iterator dialog.
