Excel Graphing sort of scatterplot but not really.

C

ConfusedJulie

I have a question to do with graphs. For example here is my data

1 apple
1 banana
1 grape
2 orange
2 grape
3 banana

and I want EXCEL to graph it exactly this way (See below) (with the data
labels included) (sort of like a scatterplot but not quite)

X orange
X apple
X banana Xbanana
X grape Xgrape
..........................................................
1 2 3

How do I do this? Please please answer my question. Thanks a lot in advance!
If I cant do this in excel, is there anything else you recommend or an addin
which is available online.

Thanks so much

Julie

Set your data up like this:

Y labels
1 3 apple
1 2 banana
1 1 grape
2 4 orange
2 1 grape
3 2 banana

Then make an XY(Scatter) graph from THE FIRST TWO COLUMNS ONLY.

Finally, download and install the AppsPro XY Chart Labeler, an Excel
add-in from Rob Bovey:

and use it to label the points in the XY graph you made with the words
in the third column.
