Read on to find out how to make an XY graph in Google Sheets How to Make a Scatter Plot Graph in Google Sheets The utility of a scatter plot will become more apparent when you see how it’s made. You can plot this data on a scatter plot in Google Sheets and see how these two are correlated.

Note that each of the functions require the range of the dependent variable to be listed first (B2:B6)and the range of the independent variable second (A2:A6).ġ2. If this is the case for a linear trend, the SLOPE and INTERCEPT commands may be used to calculate the slope and intercept of the trend. The equation in the legend may not include enough decimal places. Select Insert to place the scatter plot in the sheet.ġ1. If you choose Use Equation for the Label and Show R 2, the legend on the graph will show the equation as well as the coefficient of determination. Selecting the box to the right give you several choices of regression for the data.įor example, select Linear to find the line of best fit. Under the area labeled Series, look for Trendline. To do this, scroll farther down in the Customize window. You may also add a trendline to the scatter plot. Like the horizontal axis, you can change the vertical extent of the axis using Min and Max.ġ0. Give the vertical axis an appropriate label under Title. Once you have given the horizontal axis a title, use the box next to Axis to choose Left Vertical. You can also change the minimum and maximum extent of the graph by entering values into Min and Max.ĩ. Give the horizontal axis an appropriate label under Title.

Use the scroll bar in the middle of the window to move farther through the chart options. You can also change the color and size of the chart title font.Ĩ. Under Chart Title, you should put a name that describes your chart. To change the chart titles and axes labels, select Customize.

Now the preview on the right side of the window show a scatter plot.ħ.

In the next column, choose the scatter plot at the top. Select Scatter from the column of chart types on the left side of the window.Ħ. To find a scatter plot, select Charts in the upper left corner of the window.ĥ. There are several recommended chart, but none of them are scatter plots. This window indicates where the data is located (A1:B6:) and indicates that the first rows contains headers or labels. A window will appear that allows you to create a variety of different types of graphs including scatter plots. From the Insert menu at the top of the window, select Chart.Ĥ. The data and labels at the top of the column should be highlighted.ģ. While holding the mouse button down, drag the cursor to cell B6. To graph the data, we first need to select it in the spreadsheet. In column A put the weekly demand data (the independent variables) and in column B put the average price per gallon (the dependent variable).Ģ. To find a linear model for the Average Price per Gallon as a function of the Weekly Demand, we need to make a scatter plot of this data and add the linear regression model to it.ġ. Suppose we have the demand data show in the table below. Following a few simple steps, we can graph a set of data in a scatter plot and find the corresponding model. Like other spreadsheets, Google Sheets may be used to find a regression model for data.
