XY Scatter Plot Problems

XY scatter plots that were successful previously now are in error.  They now appear as "column type" charts with the horizontal axis simply the index of the data point (that is, 1, 2, 3, ...).  This problem has appeared after the recent
update of MS Office 2013.  Please help quickly!

Hi,
Plese try to change the chart type.  Click the chart->Design Tab->Change Chart Type->choose
X Y Scatter.
Also when right click the chart->Select Data, what does the labels of
Legend and Horizontal look like?
If possible, please share the workbook with us ,you can upload the file to a file sharing site and then share the link here.

  • Scatter Plot Problems

    I'm fairly new to Numbers, and I'm having difficulty making scatter plots with some of my data. For instance, I want to create a graph of strain versus force, with force on the x-axis and strain on the y-axis. I have my data in 2 rows, and when I select both rows and choose a scatter plot, I get a bizarre looking chart. Is there a step I'm missing here?

    Yvan,
    I should have given you more data. I have found that the icon in the upper left corner of the Scatter Chart's data range in the Table can not be switched from columnar to row-wise, as would be the case for a Line Chart. It seems that the icon, and the chart behavior, are stuck on Columnar.
    Clicking on the icon will not change it.
    Defining a row-wise paring range for a Scatter Chart is ignored and a multi-series Columnar Chart is created instead. There are two ways to identify the behavior, by the color blocks in the data range, as you noted, and by the icon.
    This is the Columnar Icon:
    This is the Row-wise Icon:
    Clicking on the icon should toggle it.
    The documentation indicates that either arrangement should work with a Scatter Chart, but clearly in my experience, only column pairs can be used. I can't think of a good reason to restrict this behavior beyond the convention that X-Y data is normally presented in columns.
    Thanks for asking the Bug Hunters about this issue.

  • Scatter Plot Problem!!

    Hello everyone,
    I am quite new at Labview and I have a question regarding plotting 2d-array in a scatter plot.
    I would like to plot my data as a scatter plot, which I have done with the Waveform graph, and now I would like to find out the area with the highest density in the scatter plot
    and mark the area with a circle...is it possible in Labview to realize this?? I would be very thankful for every tips!
    Thank You
    Best Regards 
    Yun

    Yes it is possible.  You said you are using a waveform graph, wouldn't an XY graph be a better choice?  I don't know the data you are getting so a waveform graph might be the right tool here.
    In either case you'll need to define a length of X that you want to find the denses amount of points.  So say X=1 so then you will find all the points between 0 and 1 and count them, then 0.1 to 1.1 and count them, then 0.2 to 1.2 for the length of X on your graph.  Doing this in a For loop will make it easy, and then your output will be an array of counts for each section.  Find the maximum using the Array Max & Min function.  
    Then you can highlight the graph using property nodes.  You can use a cursor, or annotation, or a custom picture.  The easiest would probably be an Annotation and in the Example finder there is one called "Graph Annotations" that find the minimum, maximum, and average values for a graph and put an overlay on the graph.

  • X,Y Scatter Plot Problem

    Is there any way to change the huge symbols in an x,y plot? All I want are dots not huge X's, O's, etc., and I want to be able to connect the dots. Plus, hopefully in the future, I would also like to be able to fit a curve to the data points.
    For now, however, I would like a least to be able to plot more than a few data pairs without the major-sized symbols all merging together in a mess.

    You can change the weights of the lines right now.

  • Line / scatter plot axis problems

    I'm trying to create a graph to show the percentage of revenue that is generated by some percentage of classes offered, a la an 80-20 graph. Sample XML:
    <DATA>
    <RevenueByClass>
    <REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
    <CLASS_NUMBER>1</CLASS_NUMBER>
    <PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>.24</PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>
    <PERCENTAGE>4.67</PERCENTAGE>
    </REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
    <REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
    <CLASS_NUMBER>2</CLASS_NUMBER>
    <PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>.48</PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>
    <PERCENTAGE>6.83</PERCENTAGE>
    </REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
    </RevenueByClass>
    </DATA>
    Ideally, I want a line graph (which I can make without any trouble) with PERCENT_OF_CLASSES showing up on the X-axis and PERCENTAGE on the Y-axis. My problem is that, because it's a line graph, BI Beans treats the X-axis as ordinal rather than a data axis, so the axis labels are completely haywire. I would like a way to change the line graph so that the axis labels are the same as the Y-axis, preferably every 10% or 20%. Skipping doesn't work, because the total number of classes can vary so the exact percentages can vary as well.
    If there is no way to do that, I could try to make it as a scatter plot; however, it's not built into the wizard and I've had little success trying to build it by hand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately it seems that while most chart types can cope with data in rows, 'scatter' needs data to be in columns. If you create a table the transpose of how you described it, then click Listings and command-click 200, you should be able to create the correct scatter chart. Note that you'll probably then want to click the numbers on the x-axis of the chart (e.g. 80) until a narrow box appears which contains just those numbers. Then, in the chart inspector 'Axis' dialogue enter the value 50 in 'Value Axis Format':'Minimum', and maybe chnge the number of steps to suit (here 3). You might want to repeat this for the y-axis with different values.

  • Plotting Data Incorrectly in a Scatter Plot

    I am trying to plot a graph using a scatter plot in Numbers, and all of the data points are correct except for one. If you look at the data, you can see that the point that is at .00360 on the y axis(the highest point on the graph) is supposed to have an x value of .001 but instead it is too far to the right (closer to .1). This is throwing off my graph and I really need to get this fixed. Below are the links to the data table and the graph. Thanks for any help!

    Hi Tom,
    I tried recreating your table and chart, typing in the numbers rather than having any of them calculated, and manually assigning min and max values to both axes to match yours.
    The chart came out with all data points where expected.
    I did notice another difference in the curve though—where yours shows three data points forming a concave-toward-the-origin section (at the leftmost portion that is correctly plotted), mine shows four data points. That led me to count the points and find that there is one point—(0.139,0.00309)—missing from your chart.
    While I don't see from doing this what may be wrong with your chart, it did bring a workaround to mind that should get you a useable chart before your deadline.
    Insert a new (plain) table into your document and resize it to the minimum needed to hold the two columns of data.
    Select the cells containing the X axis data and Copy.
    Click on cell A1 of the new table and go Edit > Paste Values.
    Repeat for the Y axis data, placing it in column B of the new table.
    Select the data block in the new table then insert a scatter chart.
    If you still get the error, manually edit the data in the cells causing the error.
    That should get you through the short term. I think someone may have to look at the actual file to solve the underlying problem.

  • Scatter Plot With Multiple Data Series

    Hello,
    I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
    I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
    I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
    I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
    Thanks a ton in advance!!

    Pop,
    Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
    The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
    Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

  • Scatter plot using time series function - Flash charting

    Apex 3 + XE + XP
    I am trying to build a time series scatter plot chart using flash chart component.
    Situation :
    On each scout date counts are taken within each crop. I want to order them by scout dates and display them in a time series chart. Each series represents different crop.
    I am posting the two series queries I used
    Queries:
    Series 1
    select     null LINK, "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTDATE" LABEL, INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT as "AVERAGE COUNT" from     "COUNTY" "COUNTY",
         "FIELD" "FIELD",
         "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
         "INSECTDISEASESCOUT" "INSECTDISEASESCOUT",
         "SCOUTDATES" "SCOUTDATES",
         "CROP" "CROP"
    where "SCOUTDATES"."CROPID"="CROP"."CROPID"
    and     "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTID"="INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."SCOUTID"
    and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
    and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID"
    and     "FIELD"."COUNTYID"="COUNTY"."COUNTYID"
    and      "INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."PESTNAME" ='APHIDS'
    and     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" ='SUGARSNAX'
    and     "COUNTY"."COUNTNAME" ='Kings' AND CROP.CROPID=1
    order by SCOUTDATES.SCOUTDATE' ASC
    Series 2:
    select     null LINK, "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTDATE" LABEL, INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT as "AVERAGE COUNT" from     "COUNTY" "COUNTY",
         "FIELD" "FIELD",
         "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",

    and     "COUNTY"."COUNTNAME" ='Kings' AND CROP.CROPID=4
    order by SCOUTDATES.SCOUTDATE' ASC
    Problem
    As you can see the observations are ordered by scout date. However when the chart appears, the dates dont appear in order. The chart displays the data from crop 1 and then followed by crop 4 data, which is not exactly a time series chart. Does flash chart support time series or they have no clue that the data type is date and it should be progressive in charting ? I tried to use to_char(date,'j') to converting them and apply the same principle however it did not help either.
    Any suggestions ?

    Arumugam,
    All labels are treated as strings, so APEX will not compare them as dates.
    There are two workarounds to get all your data in the right order:
    1) Combine the SQL statements into single-query multi-series format, something like this:
    select null LINK,
    "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTDATE" LABEL,
    decode(CROP.CROPID,1,INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT) as "Crop 1",
    decode(CROP.CROPID,4,INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT) as "Crop 4"
    from "COUNTY" "COUNTY",
    "FIELD" "FIELD",
    "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
    "INSECTDISEASESCOUT" "INSECTDISEASESCOUT",
    "SCOUTDATES" "SCOUTDATES",
    "CROP" "CROP"
    where "SCOUTDATES"."CROPID"="CROP"."CROPID"
    and "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTID"="INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."SCOUTID"
    and "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
    and "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID"
    and "FIELD"."COUNTYID"="COUNTY"."COUNTYID"
    and "INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."PESTNAME" ='APHIDS'
    and "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" ='SUGARSNAX'
    and "COUNTY"."COUNTNAME" ='Kings'
    AND CROP.CROPID in (1,4)
    order by SCOUTDATES.SCOUTDATE ASC2) Union the full domain of labels into your first query. Then the sorting will be applied to the full list, and the values of the second series will be associated with the matching labels from the first.

  • How can i relocate R^2 and equation values in scatter plot?

    hey, i used Numbers to crate scatter plot and findig trendline and R^2 values.
    the problem is that numbers automaticly put the values in the left side of the plot, and i couldnt find a way to edit their location.
    there is a way to do that?
    btw i usees the last version with OSX 10.9.

    I do not see how to move these either.  Looks like intent is that the user NOT be able to move as there is a formatter for the R^2 value and the equation when they are selected.

  • Sort x values highest to lowest in scatter plot?

    I want to do a simple scatter plot, which actually works fine and looks like this:
    The only problem is, I have to sort the x axis the other way round, starting with 24 copies going down to 10. Anybody got ideas?
    C.

    Hi C,
    Would this work?
    The method requires an auxiliary column in the data table and one edit to the chart. I added a second edit to the chart, adding weight to the connecting lines between data points, but that one is strictly cosmetic.
    Auxiliary column in the table:
    Insert a new column before column B. It will become column B.
    Formula:
    B2: =24-A
    24 is the maximum value in column A. "A" references the column A cell on the same row as the formula.
    Fill down to the bottom of column B. Results as shown. After creating the chart, this column may be hidden.
    Chart:
    Select cells B2:E7.
    Select Scatter Chart from the Charts button.
    When the chart is generated And still selected), click the gear icon at the top left of the selected cells and choose Share X values.
    Select the box containing the x axis labels. Press delete to delete this box.
    Click the Text box button in the Toolbar to insert a Text box.
    Enter 10 in the Text box. Adjust the width of the box to a loose fit around the number.
    With the box selected, press command-D seven times to create another seven identical boxes.
    Edit the contents of these boxes to contain the even numbers from 10 to 24.
    Carefully place the box containing 10 directly below the first data point on the chart, and as far below the x axis as you want the row of labels to appear.
    Carefully place the box containing 24 directly below the last data point on the chart, and slightly lower on the page than the box containing 10.
    Place the other boxes in ascending order between and slightly below the two boxes already placed.
    Select all eight of these boxes, but nothing else.
    Go Arrange (menu) > Align Objects > Top
    Go Arrange > Distribute Objects > Horizontally
    Go Arrange > Group
    If desired, adjust the weight and colours of the data point icons and connecting lines.
    Note: Any revisions to the data will likely require repeating the construction above.

  • Continuous Scatter Plot Comparison for Satellite Observation

    I am working on writing a java plug-in to analyze a scatter plot generated from satellite data(semi-major axis vs inclination). I have been looking at algorithms to do so and found DFS(Depth First Search) and BFS(Breath First Search). The point behind the code is to find out what is normal movement for the satellite and catch abnormal movement. The only problem is I don't have much experience with using algorithms so I was hoping maybe someone can help me get started. Thanks\

  • Logarithmic axes in scatter plots

    Hello,
    Maybe I am wrong but reading the documentation and doing some tests, I do not succeed to do a scatter plot with one axe on a logarithmic scale.
    It seems that, in this mode, both axes X and Y are linked and need to have the same origin. In my try, X goes from 0 to 5000 whereas Y goes from 1E15 to 6E20.
    So if both needs to begin at 0 because of X, it is a bit stupid and a serious problem to use Numbers
    Does anybody knows how to do that ?

  • Axis scale for scatter plots

    I'm trying to create a specialized scatter plot, which functions similar to Excel's scatter plot. I'm having problems determining what the min and max values should be for the axes. I would like the program to determine from the input data what the initial min and max values should be on the x- and y-axis, the user can adjust later.
    So, I don't want the program to just look at the maximum value imported and round up. For instance, data = {523.7, 514.4, 271.8, 128.5}. The max value is 523.7, round up to 524. Instead, I would like to program to make 600 the largest value on the axis, because that makes it nice round number for the user to view the dataset.
    Then, I thought it really depends on the range of the data. For instance, data = {523.4, 523.8, 523.2, 522.8, 523.9}. Here, the range is very small, so it doesn't make sense to have 600 the largest value on the scale. The largest value should be 524 or 525, and the small value on the axis scale should be 521 or 522.
    Has anyone else ever worked with this problem, or have a good solution? I would really appreciate it, I've spend way too many days working on this.
    Thank you,
    Joe

    This is off the top of my head and based on a slight variation of your data.
    data: 52.34, 52.38, 52.32, 52.28, 52.39
    min=52.28 max=52.39 range=0.11
    Looking at the range we see it is "on the order of" 0.1. Ie, it is closer to the next lower power of 10 (0.1) than it is to the next higher one (1.0). So we round min down to the next lowest multiple of 0.1 (52.2) and round max up (52.4). 52.2 and 52.4 can serve as the nice numbers.
    The range is just a little bigger than a power of 10, so it might be a good idea to check what happens when it's a little less.
    data: 135 226 141 143 etc
    min=135 max=226 range=91
    range is on the order of 100, and the nice numbers are 100 and 300.
    As a variation on this strategy if we always find the power of 10 below the range (10 in the second example) we get a tighter fit but the numbers are slightly less nice - 130 and 220.
    (I'm pretty sure I've seen - and used! - some java software from the Internet somewhere to find the best scale for axes, so it might pay to look around)
    Had to edit my second example and, while I was waiting, found what I have used for this sort of thing: http://geosoft.no/software/index.html (The NiceNumbers class - it finds numbers along a range suitable for major and minor "ticks" but, if memory serves me correctly it extends the range so that the ends are nice too.)

  • 50G / simultaneous multiple scatter plots + intersection of linear regression lines

    I have a real specific problem with scatter plots and linear regression lines.
    First, I've been looking over the manual and the internet trying to figure out how to graph multiple scatter plots at the same time, but it seems like you can only do Columns 1 and 2 or Columns 1 and 3, etc., from Edat (greek letter), you can't do all three columns at once IF Column 1 represents X and 2 and 3 represent Y-values.  Or columns 1 & 2 as one set, and 3 & 4 as a second set. 
    Further, because it doesn't seem to be able to do this, I can't get it to find the intersection of these two lines. I can get the x-intercept and y-intercept just fine but I don't need that. What I can do is do a linear regression on both sets of data to get an equation for a line, put it into an array, and use the solver on it, that does indeed work. But that's a whole lot of extra keypresses just to get an ordered pair. I have experience on TI and Casio calculators and they don't have this seeming limitation. 
    Any suggestions?

  • Xy scatter plot with 2 y axis how to?

    I am interested in an making an XY scatter plot with time points as
    the x axis, and with 2 different y axis.
    As I mentioned, the x axis
    will have the different time in min., that the data was collected, and
    the 1 y axis would contain a particular measurement of the sample, and
    the other (2nd) y axis would contain a different type of measurement
    of the same sample. The problem is that I can't see how to do a 2 y
    axis XY scatter plot.
