    Scatter chart plotting

    Good morning

    I am new to this forum so I apologize if I post on an already answered thread.

    I am in a bit of a bind.

    I am trying to create a scatter chart with four quadrants, with a single data set.

    I have been able to create a plotted chart, looks good but there are 2 issues I am running into.

    (1) The data points are all over the place.
    (1.1) If Q1 (top left) is my HIGH and Q2 (top right) is my MEDHIGH, I would have a data point that is of the same value in both Quadrants.

    (2) My data points fall in a linear pattern.
    (2.1) I understanding that the X axis would extend as I add data points, but I Need the data points to group together by value in the relevant quadrant.
    (2.2) That being said, I do not have a 2nd data set to offset against so I have tried using "1" as a 2nd range range. But still no luck.

    I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

    T

    Re: Scatter chart plotting

    I cannot visualize what you are trying to do from your description alone. Can you share a sample file or something else that helps us visualize the problem?

    Points 2.1 and 2.2 make me wonder if you are trying to plot a series of Y values without supplying a corresponding set of X values. If so, perhaps the solution is to come up with a series of corresponding X values for the data?
