Presuming that your data source is a spreadsheet...The very first column should have the names, then check the box to use the first name when importing the data set. You can setup the first column just to name data sets, even if this column is not being used for the actual merge.

Use First Column For Data Set Names
Names each data set using the content of the first column of the text file (the values for the first variable listed). Otherwise, the data sets are named “Data Set 1, Data Set 2, and so on.”


 

 

You can also dupe this column for use as a label on the image, with another column for the image filename and path.

Perhaps you should have shared the text file then. I could only guess at what you were doing wrong, and I guessed wrong. It's a GIGO situation.
