Simple y by x plot of events with point labels from a column with categorical info.

I have a pretty simple plot, but cannot make it work the way I intend. I am a long time user of JMP, and have done some JSL before, but stumped by this seemingly simple request.

The attached data table shows the running total fabs in central Texas vs time. I want the Running Total column on Y-axis and the Year on X-axis, and a text label for each data point with the Facility.

Since I am just plotting points without statistics or fitting, all I want to do is add point labels for each data point using the Facility column for the label text. I don't want interactive hover labels.

Since this is just a list of events in chronological order, I also looked at Graph Builder, and control chart options to see if one of these other graph types might be more friendly to event data. I want the year to be a continuous variable so it is scaled correctly in X.

If you have JMP18 (I think) you can get this by using Label by Row

Thanks!

I got it to work in Fit Y by X also. I had to set the Facility column to be the label, and then *remember* to select all rows and turn on the row labels. I guess I am pretty rusty.
