I have uploaded as excel file to ArcGIS Pro, I have displayed the data on the map.However, I am unable to label the data. I notice the Class is missing from the labelling toolbar.

Uploading an Excel file does just that - it adds the non-spatial table to your AGP project.  If you want to visualize the data as a point, then you need to run the XY Table to Point GP tool using a defined X Field and Y Field from your Excel file.  Once you create the point feature class, then you can label it using the Class field.  Hope this helps!

Hi Sarah,

Are you using the XY Table to Point GP tool?  If so there is an issue with it at the moment.  You'll need to readd the newly created feature class to the map and then you should be able to label it fine.  The team will be working on resolving this.

thanks,

Wendy
