How can I color dots in a xy scatterplot according to column value?

Question

Consider the following worksheet:

     A       B        C        D
1 COMPANY  XVALUE   YVALUE   GROUP
2 Apple     45       35       red
3 Xerox     45                


        

Answer 1

If you code your x axis text categories, list them in a single column, then in adjacent columns list plot points for respective variables against relevant text category code and just leave blank cells against non-relevant text category code, you can scatter plot and get the displayed result. Any questions let me know.
