Excel plots the data you give it. If two points have the same X and Y
values, they will be plotted in the same location in the chart. If you want the points not to obscure each other, you need to offset them slightly. Excel has no built-in functionality to generate this offset, so you'll have to work out your own algorithm and write your own formulas. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "sfdc" <sfdc@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:85B4F748-8262-4C6B-8AAD-D9FFCC5D4D76@microsoft.com... > |

In Excel, one (tedious) way is to sort the XY pairs on the worksheet, identify the duplicates, and for each duplicate pair add or subtract a small number for either the X or Y value. It's a manual method for what's sometimes called "jittering." - Mike www.mikemiddleton.com |
