Scatter Chart


Hi ,

I have a requirement  to built a scatter chart

with quarter as x-axis and salesamount  as Y axis

Country as dimension ,

we have to use 2 expressions and 1 dimension in creating a scatter chart

Problem I am facing is I want quarter to be displayed as q1, q2,q3 on X axis

Is it possible to create a chart with quarter as x-axis

please find the attached file

Thanks

For a scatter plot you need the x and y axis to be numeric.  In your data the Quarter are text.  A better approach would be to use a line chart and display the points as symbols without a line.  If you really really need to use a scatter plot then this can be done by converting the quarters to number.  In your case the expression RIGHT([Quarter],1) will work.
