How to Read Scatter Chart and Bubble Chart

Premium

Scatter charts show the relationships among the numeric values in several data series, or between two groups of numbers as one series of XY coordinates.

A scatter chart has two value axes, showing one set of numerical data along the horizontal axis (X-axis) and another one along the vertical axis (Y axis). It combines these values into single data points and displays them in uneven intervals, or clusters. Scatter charts are commonly used for displaying and comparing numeric values, such as scientific, statistical and engineering data.
