    Creating multi-series X,Y scatter plot with data organized as (series name, x, y)

    I am trying to create a x,y scatter plot of multiple series, each with their own x,y values. The data is organized as shown below (also see attached workbook), as "series name, x, y". I can create the scatter plot by adding each series to the chart using "select data", but there are hundreds of series and I need a faster way to go through it. Is there a way to input these three columns (or macros) so that excel can sort the data into series and graph it? (Using Excel 2013)

    series x y (also see attached workbook)
    a1 599885.304 4051177.368
    a1 599884.681 4051181.09
    a1 599884.618 4051181.697
    a2 599870.543 4051175.651
    a3 599854 4051171.144
    a3 599854.177 4051174.89
    a4 599839.572 4051177.898

    Thank you very much!

    One quick way is to use formula to lay the data out differently.

    Due to upload limits I have only populated a section of the sheet with formula, but you should get the idea.
