– Add bar chart (column chart) for Range F20:G26 (Series 2)ĭue to 0 y axis for Series 2, no value is displayed, only the x-axis label can be seen.Īlternatively, you can also create a another scattered graph for Series 2, then show x-value as label.
– Create scatter chart for Range B20:C31 (Series 1) Scatter chart is used to display the actual data point, while bar chart is to display Grade labels. Since Excel allows different chart types to be displayed in one chart, we are going to create a mix of bar chart (column chart) and scatter chart. In Mapping table, put a dummy 0 for Y axis. In Data Source table, vlookup up “Order” from “Mapping Table”, we are going to use this Order value as x-axis value instead of using Grade. To group Grade text (ordinal data), prepare two tables:Ģ) a mapping table indicating the desired order in X-axis Solution – Excel scatter chart using text name Therefore in the below scattered chart, we see 10 data points. If we put text name in x axis (Grade), in order to force text name to become numeric, Excel converts first x value (Grade 1) to numeric value 1, the 2nd x value (Grade 3) to numeric value 2, and so on. Sometimes we categorize x axis values as a group name (ordinal data) instead of providing the actual numeric value. From the graph, you can see the trend that Salary increases exponentially with Grade (although the data is dummy, the trend is real). Excel scatter chart using text nameĮxcel scatter chart requires the x axis and y axis for each data point to be plotted in a diagram, and then join all those point together to analyze the trend or analyze if x and y variables are correlated, where X and Y values have to be numeric values.īelow is an example showing how employee Grade is related to salary.
