My apologies if I do not use the proper terminology:

1) How do I create a specific Chart Shapes template to reflect custom defined shape data labels that will be default for all new/copied shapes?
2) After adding a few labels to shape data I'm now getting duplicate empty columns when I export the data & there are now duplicate labels on new/copied shapes are placed (see attached JPG). I'm not sure what to fix or how this went wrong.
3) To fix # 2, am I able to highlight/lasoo all currently Chart Shapes to ensure they can all have a identical labels or must I audit each shape data individually? When I try this I don't seem to have all the labels I have created visible. Is it silly to think there is a way to initiate a mass shape data label change to avoid individual changes to hundreds of shapes?!?

Thank you so kindly for your support and advice.
