Hello,



I have two columns of data that I want to compare. Here is an example of
how they look.

Tone Depth

4 3

5 5

3 2

3 3

3 2

3 2

2 3

2 3

4 4

3 1

3 2

3 1

3 3

3 1

3 3

4 4

3 2

4 3

4 3

4 4

4 3

3 5

3 2




As you can see, there are several points where a Tone of 3 can have a
depth of 5 or 2 or various other numbers between 1 and 5. Tone has the
same range of numbers.



I want to create a chart that compares Tone in terms of Depth, i.e., if it
has a Tone value of 4, it will show the quantitve numbers of correlating
depth values as in (there are 2 entries with a tone of 4 and a depth of 4,
and 1 entry with a Tone of 4 and a depth of 5, and 8 entries with a tone
of 4 and a depth of 3, etc.)



I want it to show this for each tone Value, 1-5. I'm not sure how I would
go about creating this chart. Could anyone help me?



As you can see, it's all in two columns, so I would like for excel to pull
out the summary data (i.e. the number of depth entries for each tone type)
by itself so that I don't have to do it manually, if possible. If I were
to do it manually, it might resemble something like this (does not match
with chart above.)



Tone 1

_______

Depth of 1=0

Depth of 2=2

Depth of 3=8

Depth of 4=1

Depth of 5=1



Tone 2

_______

Depth of 1=5

Depth of 2=7

Depth of 3=10

Depth of 4=3

Depth of 5=5



Tone 3

_______

Depth of 1=2

Depth of 2=2

Depth of 3=3

Depth of 4=8

Depth of 5=12



Tone 4

_______

Depth of 1=3

Depth of 2=2

Depth of 3=6

Depth of 4=3

Depth of 5=4



Tone 5

_______

Depth of 1=0

Depth of 2=2

Depth of 3=1

Depth of 4=0

Depth of 5=0



Let me know if you can help! I'm new to charting in Excel.



Thanks!
