The Difference Between Data Series and Data Labels: This subject has to do with PowerPoint Items Found in Pie, Charts, Bar Graphs, Line Charts etc. Let's use a Pie Chart as a good Visual to define Data Label Vs. Data Series. Scenario: Our Pie Chart Involves the Percentage of those people in certain groups that have a Pet. The Groups are 1. Business Owners, 2. Office Workers, 3. Blue Collar Workers, 4. IT Professionals and 5. Retired Workers. 1. For this scenario, let us assume that the percentages of the different categories of workers went as follows: Business Owners 20%, Office Workers 30%, Blue collar 25%, IT Pros 0.5% and Retired 20%. 2. Picture the Slices of the pie and on each slice of the pie, picture the size of each slice based on the percentage of each category type that owns a pet. 3. The Percentage figures that you see on each individually colored slice of the pie are known as Data Labels. 4. The Data Series would be the different categories of people that were polled in order to produce the chart as a whole. And in this case, the Data Series would be composed of 5 separate categories producing the 5 slice pie. 5. Each individual part of the Data Series (each part of the pie) can be formatted individually in terms of color, while each individual Data Label (the percentages) can be formatted in terms of color and font size. 6. When you deal with Bar Charts they too have Data Labels on each part of the Bar For Each Separate category. 7. For each separate plot point of a Line Chart you can have a Data Label showing at that point. Each Separate category in a Bar Chart and Line Chart is known as an individual Data Series since unlike a Pie Chart, Bar and Line Charts can be composed of multiple Data Series.
