    Unhappy Is it possible - Scatter Plot with Names attached to each point

    Hi,

    I have a list of 50 names or so, and two variables attached to each name. I need to see, on ONE chart, a scatter plot to show the direct relationship between these two variables. However, I need to see the names attached to each data point, or else the legend which is 50 names long gets confusing. Furthermore, many of these names share one or both of the same variables! I still need to see a plot for each individual name on the graph though.

    Any ideas? I was thinking about trying to create some sort of matrix, but I don't know how to do that either.

    Your help is MUCH appreciated!

    Unhappy almost there...

    thanks, that definitely helps. But now I see I may have a problem where, if the data point is labeled, I might have duplicates that will make it hard to read. For example (3,5) could be labeled 3 times with "Paul" "Peter" and "Amy" each being that point.

    Perhaps the best thing for me to do is create a matrix or table view of the data. But how is it possible to "swing" around my data so that I automaticall have Column A and Column B on a X and Y axis now, and Column C data listed in the middle (where Column A and Column B meet)?????
