    Post Bubbel Chart with non-numerical values for both X axis and Y axis

    Hey,

    If someone would be able to help me it would appreciate it very much!

    What I would need on X axis is the countries, Y axis should contain the PGC code (group of products) and bubble size should be qty

    I know answer lies in given the countries and PGC a numeric value, but I can't seem to do it that is displays a bubbel showing the country names on the X axis and PGC name on Y axis

    Please help!

    Data for bubble graph.xlsx

    Creating the bubble chart should be easy. It looks like you want to use column D for the X data, Column E for the Y data, and Column C for the z (bubble size) data. Having z to the left of x and y is probably the hardest part of this. My first suggestion might be to add a helper column in F =C2 copied down. Then you can use columns D through F as the source data for the bubble chart and Excel will easily and automatically be able to see which should be X, Y, and Z.

    The other thing to look at is the arbitrary axis technique described here: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ArbitraryAxis.html to create and label the X and Y axes with your text labels.
