Answer 1

DataLabel.Text is a method for a Point, not the NewSeries

This code:

For r = 2 To Selection.Rows.Count
    With bubbleChart.Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
        [...]
        .DataLabel.Text = "txt"
    End With 
Next

...attempts to label the series, and fails.

Recognizing this code as being from another famous example of "multi-series Bubble Charts", it is a logical assumption that we only need to handle 1 data point per series, which makes the following code the solution:

For r = 2 To Selection.Rows.Count
    With bubbleChart.Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
        [...]
        .Points(1).HasDataLabel = True
        .Points(1).DataLabel.Text = "txt"
    End With 
Next

Answer 2

Without using VBA, right click on the bubbles and select Add Data Labels. Then, right click on the data labels and click Format Data Labels. Under Label Options, select Value From Cells and specify the cells containing the labels you'd like to use.
