Ok, but why are you selecting the trendline when it is those points you
need to format.
Use the UP/Down arrows to cycle through the chart elements. When the
points are selected use the left/right to move through each point in the
series.
When you get to the point use CTRL+1 to bring up the format dialog.

Andy,

There is a trendline drawn through the nine points of my scatterplot.

Confused:

You said you had points but now you are talking about Trendlines?

Perhaps you could explain further.

Thanks for your help. I'm sorry, but I don't have the option to change
the markers. under the format trendline dialog box, I do see the patterns
tab. however, there is no mention of any markers. in fact, I don't see
anything under the Type and Options tab either. this happens whether I
right click by the point or do to the Format menu. When I click the
trendline and go to the Format menu, I see only Selected Trendline and
Sheet options. Is there anything else to do?

You could format a single data point to have a large marker

Greetings, everyone. Is there any way to have Excel draw a circle around
a point on a scatterplot? I ask because I have two points with the same
X and Y values, which is causing one of the points to hide under
another. Thank you for your help.

Jay
