I would like to run a few simple analyses on these:
  1. Scatter plot Indicator A v Indicator B (across countries and across years), just to see whether there is a correlation (or some relationship) between the 2 indicators.
  2. Scatter plot Indicator A v % change in Indicator B (across countries and across years), to see whether there is a correlation between indicator A and the speed of change in B.
  3. As you can see in the table above, Indicator B starts getting values for some cities after a few columns. I would like to plot the first x years of indicator B in a line chart or something, BUT with an offset when looking at years. So that rather than the plot starting in column 2 for every single city, the first value for each city should be the first cell for the city that has a number. And so on...

Is there a simple and direct way of doing this, short of manually manipulating data (e.g. copying columns for each year below each other in each data set for analysis #1 , etc)?

Greatly appreciate any help!
