Inserting a scatter or XY chart

Scatter charts display data in a two-dimensional graph in rectangular coordinates. XY charts display data in a two-dimensional graph consisting of connected points whose coordinates represent two variables.

1. Double-click the Scatter Chart or XY Chart object in the Layouts palette of the Palette view.
   The Scatter Chart Wizard or XY Chart Wizard opens.
2. In the All Data Sources tree, navigate to the table or query that will be run to obtain the layout object's query result set and click Next.
   The Select the field(s) to be displayed as Y values page opens.
3. Select one or more columns in the Available fields list box and click the Move Right button to move them to the Fields to be displayed list box.
   This field lists the names of the columns of data that are included in the selected query result set. The columns that you move to the Fields to be displayed list box will be displayed as Y values in the generated chart.
4. Click Next.
   The Select the fields representing the point location page opens.
5. In the X value drop-down list, specify the name of the column of data from your query result set that will be graphed on the x-axis of the scatter or XY chart.
   Select a data column field from the drop-down list of available data columns in your query result set.
6. Click Finish.
   The wizard closes and the chart is displayed in the editor window.
