    How to create scattered plot with repeating values in the same group?

    I have data that is something like this:

    Group Assets
    1 200
    1 300
    2 150
    3 50
    1 500
    3 100

    I want to create a scattered plot charts based on the data above but I cant get it to work for some reason. I want to have the "Group" on the x-axis and the "Assets" on the y-axis. I don't want to combine the same group number (for example to have group 1 with total assets of 1000, I want to keep it as 200 300 and 500 because I want to show which group is more represented than other group.). I have tried sorting the data by group and also with out sorting but the data doesn't plot at all (everything looks clustered at the 0 level on the x-axis instead of the respective asset level.

    Any help will be great.

    THANKS!!!!

    Not sure I understand the problem. When I copy that data into a clean spreadsheet, parse it into columns (text to columns command using space as delimiter), and create a scatter chart, I get a very reasonable plot. We may need to see a sample spreadsheet showing the actual problem as you see it.
