I am trying to plot a Pareto plot in Spotfire.
I would like it to look like this (I have used some very basic input data):
But so far I can only make it look like this:
I have done this by creating a hierarchy in 'column properties' and ordering names from lowest to highest experience, then flipping both the x and y axis, so that my curve looks like a Pareto plot, but it is not quite the same.
Is there a more efficient way to do this in spotfire that would allow correct y axis display and also allow the names to go along the bottom?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I think I have an answer for you. In this you do not have to flip the y-axis, and I can get the names in the x-axis, but I still use a hierarchy. I'm not sure it's more efficient, but here goes.
First, I created a Hierarchy defined as:
CREATE NESTED HIERARCHY [New hierarchy (2)]
[yearsOfExp] AS [yearsOfExp],
[name] AS [name]
This allowed me to order the category axis by years of experience.
Secondly, I created a calculated column defined as:
Sum([yearsOfExp]]) over (AllNext([yearsOfExp]]))
I then created a line chart. The hierarchy is the x axis and the calculated column is the y axis. When setting the x axis, be sure to "reverse scale".
I hope this does what you're looking for. Good luck. Any questions, just ask.

I currently have a data set of x and y coordinates (position of an animal in an arena) over a period of time. I just used the coordinates to plot a scatter plot of what that looks like. However, instead of having every single coordinate as a separate point, i was wondering if there was a way to create a heat map of the points? So, the higher the likelihood of the animal in a specific area/ similar coordinates, the warmer the color? Hoping for the final product to be a depiction of the arena with a gradient of colors based on the likelihood the animal explores those regions?
Well with that many points, I don't know if Excel is the right choice if wanting to color-coordinate. The site https://app.rawgraphs.io/ has some really cool graphing capabilities. I use this when needing sankey's or something unusual that Excel cannot easily handle.
Here I used 1500 x/y points between 0 and 20. Then I selected the graph type called "Contour Plot".
Would this work?
Or here's a Hexagonal Binning chart of the same data...
I have two columns of data - first is fractions (goes on x-axis), second is integers (goes on y).
Is there a way to plot one against the other in a histogram type manner so it looks like a spectrum?
Use the "scatter plot" tool. It is also called a "scatter chart" tool. Once you have your chart in place, you can add a trend line to determine the formula for the relationship between x and y values. You will be able to find the formula in terms of y = mx+b. You can also determine the r squared value which will be important in the interpretation of the relationship. There are several options for scatter charts that might lead you off course, so experiment with the tool a bit to discover the correct options for your situation.
Please dont eat me because of this question :)
I have some data in excel and I would like to make a graphical representation of those data. Structure of my data:
persons ID : from 1 to 485 to every person, there is one parameter like average jumping distance and another parameter (like height) and finally there is a class to which every person belongs to (1, 2 or 3).
To assign persons to classes I have used k-means algorithm.
Now I would like to make a graph of this result. How can I do it please in excel (or by using another tool)?
Thank you
I would use a scatter (XY chart with markers and no lines). Plot average jumping distance on one axis, height on the second axis. Then for the classes I would separate all the data into 3 series and use different colors for each series. I would adjust the marker size to see which one works best with the data.
Here is a fast example to give you an idea how to it would look like. Its not as easy as just clicking once to insert the chart from the data though:
I'm trying to group two different series that have different y values for the same x values in a scatter plot, however Excel doesn't let me do this. It wants me to put both categories in different series. Is there a way to do this?
At the moment this is about my best guess as to what you want, though I fear is not right:
Please note that an image (even a rough sketch) is often helpful when requiring a chart and that the Excel version may be relevant.
I didn't know what stack exchange site to put this on, so I put it here. I am trying to determine if there is a correlation between the size of a school and the major that the school specializes in.
In order to do this, I programatically collected and analyzed data. In order to make my report, I need to make a few graphs in excel, but I have no clue how to do this.
What I'm looking for is a scatter plot, with quantitative values on the Y-Axis (the school size) and qualitative values on the X-Axis, I would like there to be every major listed out (kinda like a bar graph). From there, I want to plot a point above the major that a school specializes in; and have that point be as high as its student size.
Any help?
Edit:
Here is my sample data set. I want it to have categories that are to the right of the data, and points on the graph that correspond.
When you say "correlation" between X and Y, I think regression.
I would recommend doing an X-Y scatter plot and asking Excel to add a trend line. Not only will you get a least squares fit for the "best" line for your data, you'll get the correlation coefficient that tells you whether or not there's a relationship. The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to +1; the closer your correlation coefficient is to 1.0, the better the relationship.
