Scatter charts show the relationships among the numeric values in several data series or plot two groups of numbers as one series of XY coordinates. A scatter chart has two value axes, showing one set of numeric data along the horizontal axis (X-axis) and another along the vertical axis (Y-axis). It combines these values into single data points and displays them in irregular intervals, or clusters. Scatter charts are typically used for displaying and comparing numeric values, such as scientific, statistical, and engineering data.
