scatter plot in numbers

How do I create a y versus x line graph in Numbers? Sometimes it's called a scatter plot. My x values are not equally spaced.

See the 'Scatter Chart' sheet (tab) in the 'Charting Basics' template at File > New in your menu.


Also see this page in the Numbers User Guide, that has step-by-step instructions for creating a scatter chart.


When you are making a scatterchart (as opposed to one of the "category" charts) make sure that none of the columns with data you are using in the chart are defined as Header Columns.
