A scatter chart plotting two groups of points.

A scatter chart plotting two groups of points.

When to use

Scatter charts plot one numeric metric against another, one dot per record. Use them to spot relationships, outliers, and clusters: deal value vs days-in-stage, NPS vs MRR.

Required data shape

  • X axis: numeric property.
  • Y axis: numeric property.
  • Color (optional): select property to color dots by category.

Configuration

Limitations

  • More than ~500 dots becomes a noisy cloud. Add a filter or sample.
  • The trendline is a simple linear regression; treat it as a visual aid, not statistical truth.
