    Scatter Plot how to make dot bigger if multiple values

    I am plotting some x values against y values. Have quite a lot of data. Some of this is the same value for both x and y (eg mutiple versions of the same x,y combination) . however, when i make the scatter chart/graph the dot that represents this is the same size as when there is only one set of the x,y value.
    I want the graphic/chart to show that there is more than one of this combination hence you can visually see which x,y has the most repeats.

    Any easy way of turning this on in excel?

    thanks in advance

    A bubble chart has a 3rd parameter to control marker size.

    You will have to summarize your data to add the size value for duplicate points

    This is some random x y data. A helper column to combine X and Y value in order to then count number of occurances.
