    Re: Can't make scatter plot from data and cant figure out why

    Is this
    2.72*10^(-7)
    the exact entry for y, or is it 2.72E-7? Exactly what you show in the example data would be interpreted as text strings and would not have a numeric value, so they don't show up on a scatter plot. Computers don't usually recognize scientific notation like you are showing, but readily recognize the E notation.
