    XY Scatter with colour of points showing third variable?

    Hi,

    I’m sure this has been asked many times before but despite my best efforts I can’t find anything.

    I would like to plot a position of a car around a town (x = longitude and y = latitude co-ordinates) with the colour of the points showing the speed at that position.

    e.g.
    X Y Z
    Lat. Long. Speed
    0 0 2
    1 0 2
    2 0 3
    2 1 2

    Is it possible to put conditional formatting on the xy point based on the value of Z? If so, how? If not, any alternatives?

    Thanks in advance!

    You need to create a series for each speed.
    Use formula to determine whether speed matches that of series and then output Y pos or NA().
