Source data for multiple series in scatter chart
Do you really need 100 series? If your data is like this, three columns,
make an XY chart with the second and third columns, then use Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler add-in (http://appspro.com) to apply the labels in the first column to the points. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://peltiertech.com/ kolkova wrote: Hi, I've been struggling with a similar issue. I've created an xy scatter chart which has over 100 series. A sample: Series Name X Value Y Value Mark 1 2 John 3 1 Matt 4 2 etc etc In "source data" excel does not automatically picks u the "x value" and "y value" from the correct cell. How can I point it to the right place without having to change this manually for each of the 100 series? Thanks! Jon Peltier wrote: Multiple series in a scatter chart 20-Sep-07 I've written short VBA procedures that will create a chart with one point per series (google for my name and sthg like "onepointperseries"), but these charts lose their effectiveness as the number of series exceeds a dozen. To eliminate the user having to go back and forth between the chart and the legend to decipher the markers and colors, you add labels, and if you do this, you may as well make a single series with labels. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "David Biddulph" groups [at] biddulph.org.uk wrote in message ...

He wants the scatter graph to have a key for each series. I can't find a way of doing this by selecting a data range. I've been able to do this by adding each series individually, but as there are a large number of series this will take some time. Has anyone got any suggestions? I hate it when Excel beats me!
