custom chart... please help!
I have a lot of data I need to process. Many different categories. What I'd
like to do is have some hybrid of a column chart and xy scatter chart... X axis=location, Y axis=result, and at each location have several "criteria" such as A,B,orC. However, I'd like to actually see a marker for each data point so I can see outliers and where the majority of the data lies. The raw data is in columns and not sorted. Tried pivot table with no success. I have conquered some VBA and programming in the past and wouldn't object to that approach with some guidance. Please help! Thanks, Leslie |

It's possible to have a column and xy scatter but...
I think we would need to see some sample data and an explanation of what the desired results would be for that sample. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Leslie" wrote: I have a lot of data I need to process.

I think he means each marker in the scatter chart to be a tiny column chart. I've done something like that before, using error bars for the columns. There needs to be a sort of horizontal jitter to separate the columns from each other, and a way to mark where the exact point on the scatter chart is meant to be. -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |

That's different than I envisioned. I thought the person wanted a summary
similar to a box and whisker chart but showing the points in addition to the summary bars. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Del Cotter" wrote in message ...

Precisely, I just am not sure what the user wants and I don't want to spend a
lot of time going in the wrong direction. If its a box and whisker there are numerious ways to do that. If you wants error bars, there are many ways to do that, but, who knows? -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Jon Peltier" wrote: That's different than I envisioned.
