I can't seem to get Excel to do what seems a very straightforward chart: a
scatterplot. I've got three continuous variables: A, B, C. Ideally, what I
'd like to do is to construct a plot with two of the variables on the X and
Y axes and to encode the symbol based on the value of the third. Barring
that, I'd just like to construct three separate scatterplots: Var A by Var
B, Var A by Var C, Var B by Var C.

Shouldn't this be reasonably simple to do in a program like Excel?

Thanks in advance,
David

Sorry about that; won't happen again!!
