Scatter graphs
Scatter graphs show xy data points. Typically you use scatter graphs to show
the relationship between two sets of numeric values. Non-numeric values, such
as string and DateTime datatypes, do not display correctly.
Scatter graphs do not use categories. Instead, numeric values are plotted along
both axes—as opposed to other graphs, which have values along one axis and
categories along the other axis.
For example, the following data shows the effect of speed on the mileage of a
sedan:
Here is the data in a scatter graph:
You can have multiple series of data in a scatter graph. You might want to plot
mileage versus speed for several makes of cars in the same graph.
