Unfortunately bubble charts cannot be combined with other chart types. You
can use custom-sized markers (e.g., large and small circles) for the points
of an XY chart with area or column chart backgrounds:

But this is not natively dynamic. You would have to use VBA and some kind of
event procedures to make the bubbles update when the data changed.

hello!
I have a bubble chart which I'm trying to add lines (or coloured squares)
to, so I can group the bubbles into 4 defined-by-cell-value parts of the
chart
Currently I have 2 lines crossing the chart which I have to manually move
if
values change (they should each cross the axis at the weighted average
point)
but as the chart is going to be made into multiple versions I want to
automate as much as possible
I did see Mr Peltier's guide for adding dynamic quadrants to x-y charts (I
don't mind if the bubbles are segmented by rectangles either!) but
couldn't
find anything showing me how to do it with bubbles - any ideas?
using XL 2003
Many thanks in advance for any assistance!
