In a PowerPoint chart, Data Labels are used to display various types of information. You can display the value, the name of the Chart Series, and/or the Categories right within or above the Series on the chart. Adding Data Labels can help the presenter reveal exact values along with the Series so that he or she need not check on the Value axis to ascertain approximate values of any Series.

Any typical column chart contains two sets of data, one set shows as the Series within your charts, and the other set ends up representing the Categories. By default, the Series show up as the Legend (and columns) within the chart. Categories on the other hand constitute the groups of these individual columns.
