You cannot use this data to make a chart. You need to separate the X and Y
into different columns. This is easy enough to do: insert a column between
the current X and Y comma separated pairs, then split each using Date menu
Text To Columns.

Hi,
Is it possible to create a scatterplot with multiple series (2) from a
dataset with 3 columns:
group X Y
A 1,9 9,6
B 9,9 3,6
A 8,3 8,4
B 7,7 5,8
B 6,9 0,8
C 6,8 7,3
C 8,2 8
D 6,8 4,5
D 3,1 5,3
E 3,3 5,9

The firts column defines the group (each group has a different symbol),
the
second and third define the X and Y coordinates. My dataset contains about
400 lines and has 15 groups, which is too much work to copy the XY from
each
group to different columns. I'm working in Excel 2003.

many thanks,
Maarten
