The following procedure will help you create a scatter chart with similar results. For this chart, we used the example worksheet data. You can copy this data to your worksheet, or you can use your own data. Copy the example worksheet data into a blank worksheet or open the worksheet that contains the data you want to plot in a scatter chart.
On the Chart Design tab, click Add Chart Element, point to Up/Down Bars, and then click Up/down Bars.. Depending on the chart type, some options may not be available.
To make the data in a chart easier to read, you can display horizontal and vertical chart gridlines that extend across the plot area of the chart. You can also display depth gridlines in 3-D charts. Gridlines can be displayed for major and minor units, and they align with major and minor tick marks on the axes when those are displayed.
Create a scatter plot with Matplotlib This example describes how to create a scatter plot with the Iris flower sample data set. A scatter plot shows the relationship between two numerical variables in a data set. The example creates a scatter plot that looks like the following screenshot, comparing the sepal_width and sepal_length values.
Tip: Alternatively, right-click the chart area or plot area, click Change Chart Type, and then continue with step 3. To change the chart type of a data series, click that data series. Note: You can change the chart type of only one data series at a time.
Change data markers in a line, scatter, or radar chart Applies To Excel 2010 Word 2010 Outlook 2010 PowerPoint 2010 Excel 2007 Word 2007 Outlook 2007 PowerPoint 2007 If you have a line, (xy) scatter, or radar chart, you can change the look of the data markers to make them easier to distinguish.
A bubble chart is a variation of a scatter chart in which the data points are replaced with bubbles, and an additional dimension of the data is represented in the size of the bubbles. Just like a scatter chart, a bubble chart does not use a category axis — both horizontal and vertical axes are value axes.
Important: Beginning with Excel version 2005, Excel adjusted the way it calculates the R 2 value for linear trendlines on charts where the trendline intercept is set to zero (0).
Because the scale of the line chart's horizontal (category) axis cannot be changed as much as the scale of the vertical (value) axis that is used in the xy (scatter) chart, consider using an xy (scatter) chart instead of a line chart if you have to change the scaling of that axis, or display it as a logarithmic scale.
Note: On a scatter chart that displays only markers (without connecting lines), you can display empty cells as gaps or zero only — you cannot connect the data points with a line. Click the Show #N/A as an empty cell option if you don’t want Excel to plot those points.
