Is there a way to choose either a symbol or color for points in a plot
according to a value in a field?????

<"easy or hard" varies on each user.

Thanks Driller.

The file I'm using has almost 13000 entries. I'd like to keep all the data
together for other analysis rather than rearrange it. I was hoping there was
an easy way to do this that I could turn on and off with out moving around
the values. Perhaps not. Thanks for the thoughts.

BDB,

since your desire a Chart to FIND the trend of points via *either symbol
shape or symbol color*, it may be easier if you re-group the series of points
BASED on their respective classified zone and excel can help to provide you
with auto-symbol that represent each zone.

Here is what I'm trying to do:
I'm plotting depth vs porosity for some rock samples. In the file I'm using
I also have a 'zone' associated with each sample. I'd like to use that zone
column to determine either symbol shape or symbol color so I can see trends
for individual zones in the bigger plot.

Can this be done?

Thanks for the help
