Default Need chart of 1 data set plotted against another similar data set

I have been unable to get a chart of data similar to below
Set1 Set2
73.3 74.9
78.8 74.7
80.6 75.5


Hovering over one of the points on a chart, I get a popup like "Series 1
Point "78.8" (22,74.7) and I really want to get a plot of 78.8 against 74.7.
A straight line trend should run at roughly 45degrees.


Temporarily remove the label "Set 1" above the first column, leaving a
blank notch in the rectangle of cells. This clues Excel in that you'd
like the column below the blank to be the X axis, and the row to the
right of the blank to be the labels.

You can put the label back in when you're done making the chart.
