Hi,
I'm trying to make a X Y Scatter chart a little more useful. Essentially, I've created something like a "Gartner Magic Quadrant" chart. Easy enough to plot the points based on the X and Y axis values. But, I want to vary the diameter of the plotted points (the dots) based on another column of data. This is sort of a 3rd dimension. If it were possible, it would be cool to change the color of the varying-size dots based on yet another column of data. For example, the X axis represents a project's complexity (lowering complexity as you move east from the Y axis). The Y axis represents business value (higher is better). The size of the dot would represent the relative cost of the project, and the color would represent the department requesting the project. The last piece (department) would be the least valuable. The dot size would be awesome if someone knows how I can do that. Thanks.
