Bubble Charts

Use bubble charts to show a visual comparison using three coordinates. Each bubble requires three columns of data in the data grid. The first column holds the X coordinate, the second the Y coordinate and the third the bubble size. All coordinates in a bubble chart measure values; therefore, the vertical (Y) axis and the horizontal (X) axis both show values. The column label on the first column in each series identifies the series in the legend. Additionally, any formatting applied to the first column is used to display the series on the chart. Any formatting applied to the second and third columns is ignored.
