#Excel scatter plot labels hover series#

Right Click the new point and Format Data Series You will now have a new data point which will be at point 1 on the chart Set the Sliders Cell Link, Min, Max and other details

Right click on the chart and goto Select DataДҐ.

Note that both these formula retrieve a value that is the value in the Cell Reference cell, B44, below B1 and C1 respectively. In C43 put the equation =OFFSET(C$1,$B$44,0) In B43 put the equation =OFFSET(B$1,$B$44,0) The new series will be the 2 cells at B43:C43 To plot a single point it is a matter of adding a new data series to the chart My Data is an X-Y set of data in B2:C41, each Y value in Column C is plotted on the chart against the corresponding X value. We will use this add a new series with just one point. It is worth noting that chart series for Scatter Charts donвЂ™t have to have an equal number of entries in each series. These types include Line, Area, Column, and Bar (Thanx Jon) Y value vs X value (Scatter Charts)ДЄs these charts are plotting Y vs X directly onto the chart, it is simple to add a series which contains the points you want to highlight. Some members of the X Label charts can display a value-type X axis when the X entries are dates, ie: The X values are plotted proportionally to the dates they represent. The basic differences between these is that the former has a variable X Axis and the later has a fixed X-Axis spacing between subsequent data points. Examples of the X Label charts are Line, Column, Surface, Area, Radar and Bar charts. It is a great technique for complex scientific and engineering charts where you may have hundreds or thousands of points.Д®xcel charting basically has 2 styles of charts with these being Y value vs X Value charts and Y value vs X Label charts.Д®xamples of the X Value charts are Scatter and Bubble charts. You will see a lot of these style charts in various places where you want to highlight various aspects of the chart to your audience. This week I am going to introduce a method for allowing single points to be highlighted and interactively moved in Excel Scatter / X-Y Charts and Line Charts.
