Final answer:

To change all data labels in Excel at once, select the chart, click on a data label, right-click and choose 'Format Data Labels', and make your changes in the pane. Repeat for multiple series if needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change all data labels at once in Excel, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the chart that has the data labels you want to format.
  2. Click on one of the data labels in the series. Doing this will select all data labels in that series.
  3. Right-click on the selected data labels and choose 'Format Data Labels' from the context menu.
  4. In the Format Data Labels pane, you can make changes to the font, number, alignment, and more. These changes will apply to all data labels in the series.
  5. If you have multiple series and want to format all labels across all series, repeat the process for each series or select multiple series at once by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on additional data labels.

Remember that any changes made in the Format Data Labels pane will affect all selected data labels.
