If the data labels sit a bit too close to the x axis, try resizing the plot area until it suits. Format the data labels on the Alignment tab: A scatter plot (aka scatter chart, scatter graph) uses dots to represent values for two different numeric variables. Highlight the dates and zeros and add them to the chart as a new data series.ģ. In the Scatter: X-Y graph below, the revenue generated by each customer appears along the X-axis, while the customer satisfaction for each customer appears.
In column J enter the dates you want displayed on the chart and in column K enter zeros in each line.Ģ. Select the sheet holding your data and click the Create Chart from Selection button, as shown below.

Select ChartExpo for Excel and click the Insert button to get started with ChartExpo. Setting to False will draw marker-less lines. Setting to True will use default markers, or you can pass a list of markers or a dictionary mapping levels of the style variable to markers. A scatter plot is a plot of the values of Y versus the corresponding values of X: Vertical axis: variable Y-usually the response variable Horizontal axis.
You can format data markers that look like axis tick marks.ġ. Object determining how to draw the markers for different levels of the style variable. After you add this series to your chart, you hide the axis labels and instead show data labels for the new series, which are positioned below the data point. Use a scatter chart when you want to find out how much one variable. Now to the first question: The principle is to create a data series that has the labels you want and all values of that series are zero. Scatter charts show numeric coordinates along the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axes.
At least that's how it works in Excel 2003.
To answer your second question first (although I don't have Excel 2007 in front of me now, I think this would work): If you X axis has dates, you need to format the axes numbers with the custom format "mmmm" to show full month names or "mmm" to show just the first three letters of the month.
