    Multivariable Scatter Plot

    Hi all,

    At a standstill with Excel 2007, trying to create a scatter plot for convergence data.

    Essentially, I want (x,y) to be one point on the graph, while the title for the scatter plot point (a) is held in the legend (similar to how I was able to run this in Excel 2003). In essence:

    a = scatter plot point title
    x, y = scatter plot point

    I have three columns.

    Column One = a
    Column Two = x
    Column Three = y

    How can I comport this into the aforementioned scatter plot graph?

    Any help much appreciated,

    Soloman

    Legend	x	y
    Application	Amount of Data*	Clients Impacted*

    How did you do it in xl2003. Can you post example.

    The chart wizard does doe seem very helpful in either version when it comes to setting name/x and y value ranges correctly.
    Cheers

    The 2003 version allowed you to manually input a different range for each variable.

    The 2007 version only allows you paired ranges, and I am EXTREMELY frustrated! Is there a workaround?!

    This is just silly.

    You can use the Set Data dialog to add series with individual x and y ranges.

    Andy, thanks for the reply. I have fiddled with the set data options and cannot get the data to display as points of convergence.

    Essentially, I would like "Application" to be on the legend, with "Amount of Data" and "Clients Impacted" (two seperate columns of data) to represent x, y convergence; i.e. a singular point. (For example: 3 Year Plan = 8.00, 8.75)

    I've attached the sheet I'm working with, it's really simple data.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    The first chart uses 1 series and links the data labels to column A
    This free addin will help make those links.

    The second is a series for each xy set.
    I used code rather than manually pick each name, x and y cell.
