Monday, April 1, 2013 xy bar plot (both X and Y axis are continous variables) Usually with row or column plots in excel, one axis is categorical dat and other is numerical. However with some tricks, we can create a bar plot (row or column plot). The program will plot multiple Y variables against one X variable. The data for this chart must be in columns with the X variable in the first column. The Y variables must be in adjacent columns. An example of how to create this chart is given below for plotting two Y variables against the X variable. Plot each slice, with x and y data from the current slice (plt.plot). Create the legend from an external list. To test the above code I created the following DataFrame: Time Elapsed Residual Act.

Symptoms

The equation that is displayed for a trendline on an XY Scatter chart in Microsoft Excel is incorrect. Microsoft Excel plots the incorrect trendline when you manually substitute values for the “x” variable.

• Trendline equation is a formula that finds a line that best fits the data points.
• R-squared value measures the trendline reliability - the nearer R2 is to 1, the better the trendline fits the data.

3d Scatter Plot Excel

1. First thing you need to realize is that XYZ data is plotted in three columns, X, Y and Z. In order for Excel to plot this into a 3D Surface graph the data must be in a MESH format. A MESH format is a structure that contains rows and columns, much like a spread sheet.
2. I have a multiple columns representing Y values each against a specific x value. I am doing a scatter plot. When plotting each series, I can easily select the y values as they are present in columns but the x value is constant for each column and I cant seem to figure out how to repeat a constant x value against several y column values.

Note

The trendline formula is used for an XY Scatter chart. This chart plots both the X axis and Y axis as values. Line, Column, and Bar charts plot only the Y axis as values. In these chart types , the X axis is plotted as only a linear series, regardless of what the labels actually are. Therefore, the trendline will be inaccurate if it is displayed on these types of charts. This behavior is by design.

Cause

Microsoft Excel plots trendlines incorrectly because the displayed equation may provide inaccurate results when you manually enter X values. For appearance, each X value is rounded off to the number of significant digits that are displayed in the chart. This behavior allows the equation to occupy less space in the chart area. However, the accuracy of the chart is significantly reduced. This can cause a trend to appear to be incorrect.

Workaround

To work around this behavior, increase the digits in the trendline equation by increasing the number of decimal places that are displayed. To do this, follow these steps:

Switch X And Y Axis On Excel Scatter Plot

1. In the chart, select the trendline equation.
2. On the Format menu, click Selected Data Labels.
3. Select the Number tab, and then select Number in the Category list.
4. In the Decimal places box, increase the number of decimal places to 30 so that you can see all the decimal places.
5. Select OK.
