Plotting points on a chart

Hello all, I have 4 points on a table, but now I would like to create a cart and plot these point in their locations.

It is for the movement of a centre of gravity.

The left side vertical scale should be in Kilos, and the lateral scale will be the Arm and in (M)

I have attached the picture of how I want the chart to look.

Is it possible to draw this chart, and then have numbers insert the points in the chat?

Thank you seems like allot to ask, but I know this is the place where I can get the answers.

Have a great one.

I would use a second table to extract these four values and plot them on the chart.

The usual arrangement of values for an xy scatter chart is with the x values in one column and the y values in the next column to the right.

With the chart selected, open the Format Inspector by clicking the format brush, then select the Chart section.

I set the minimum and maximum values for both axes to fit the data, then set the number of steps for each to show an easily readable set of values on each axis.

Explore the other Format panes for other possible enhancements to the chart.

And do look at the Basic Charting template for more on making charts.

Regards,

Barry

Hi SG, I will try.

So this is based on the calculations for a weight and balance picture attached.

Then I am trying to plot the 2 locations on the chart.

T-Off (take off) the 5,030 is the weight and the 5.44 is the ARM

LANDING 4,730. 5.39

I was just looking for help in trying to use a chart to plot these points.

So one point would be where 5030 on the Y axis and the 5.44 on the X axis.

Thank you all

It's hard to relate the two data points in the table to the chart. Could you give more details?
