Placing bubbles

[laszlo]

I would like to place bubbles on the 2D places (x,y) with different radius.
The coordinates are the (column, row) an´d the rtadius the value in the cell
(column, row). For example the value 0.25 in the cell (2,5) means, that a
bubble with radius 0.25 placed on the 2D coordinate system at the location
x=2, y=5.

How to do it ? The bubble chart places the bubbles on the location (column,
radius).

Thanks in advance, Laszlo

I'm probably not understanding but I'll take a shot . . . assuming the bubble
chart is similar to an XY Scatter chart, wouldn't you set your data up like
this:

x y size
2 5 0.25
4 6 0.46
6 8 0.68
9 6 0.96

The coordinates as you've presented them looked like they might be swapped.
Can you post back with an example similar to that above of how your data is
set up?

Dear John,

thanks a lot for your fast answer !

If I translate my date to your example, it will work, as desired.

But my data are placed as follows (I'll use your example):

I have a range of 10 rows / 10 columns: A1:J10. The cell A10 represents the
coordinates (X=1;Y=1); the cell B10 represents the coordinates (X=2;Y=1), the
cell A9 represents the coordinates (X=1, Y=2) and so on. For example the
cell C6 represents the coordinates (X=3;Y=5).

Back to your example:

B6 = 0.25
D5 = 0.46
F3 = 0.68
I5 = 0.96

Is there any symple way (e.g. without transforming my 10 X 10 range into the
proposed 3 x 100 range) to create the desired chart ?

Thank you in advance,

Laszlo

Laszlo -

Why not just rearrange rearrange your data? Any charting requires that
the data be appropriately set up in the first place.

In another sheet, set up a new range. Put X, Y, and Size into A1:C1. In
A2 enter this formula:

=INT((ROW()+8)/10)

In B2 enter this formula:

=MOD(ROW()-2,10)+1

In C2 enter this formula

=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$J$10,11-A2,B2)

where Sheet1 is the sheet with your original data. Fill this down to row
101, and use this range for your bubble chart.

Hi Jon,

thanks for explanation and for transforming proposal. If there is the only
way, I will reaarrange every time my area (the dimension is variable - today
10 x 10, tommorrow perhaps 15 x 15).

Thank you for your response and for your help.

Warm regards,
Laszlo

hi laszlo

i understood your problem because i have the same problem!
i just posted it.
i don´t want to rearrange the table too since i want to have the value
in it getting the bubbles in it too.
did u find a solution in the meantime??

thanks
