Scatter Charts

Scatter charts use data points to plot two measures anywhere along a scale, not only at regular tick marks.

You can also specify a default measure. For example, you might need to specify a default measure to give context to a calculated measure in the chart. For more information about the default measure, see Specify the Default Measure.

Scatter charts are useful for exploring correlations between different sets of data.

Note: The Employee Satisfaction 2012 sample report in the GO Data Warehouse (analysis) package includes a scatter chart.

The following example shows the correlation between production cost and gross profit for each product line.
