I need to create an xy scatter graph with a third data value (temperature)
labeling each point (label can be either text or graphical).

Seems like this should be possible, even easy, but my extensive attempts
have all failed. Does anyone know how to do this?

I am actually doing this in an Access form but I believe the solution in
Excel should be applicable.

Thanks alot,
Dennis

DO you mean a 3-axis BY chart?
Not really possible but Jon Peltier has a possible workaround

My data has 3 columns, first two columns are the x and y values that I want
plotted, the third column is a value that I want to label the xy point with.
x,y,T
13.5, 14.5, 25
I want the point x=13.5, y=14.5 plotted on the graph and for it to have a
label of "25".
There are five xy points and each will have a unique T value label: the
first point always has a T-value of 25, the second 45, the third 65, the 4th
85, the fifth 105.

Thanks,

You can use one of these helpful Excel add-ins to apply labels from a third range to
your data points. Both are easy to install and use.
