Dear all
I'm an economist who wants to generate a 2D plot with unemployment on the x-axis and inflation on the y-axis. The data is yearly. Now comes the challenge: I want to have the corresponding year (e.g "1985" "1986") used instead of the plot symbols.
Anyone?
Regards

Hi Hal,
Easiest would be to organize your data in the worksheet, as shown in the image below, and then follow the steps below to make the graph:
1> Highlight the last two columns and make a scatter plot. The year label will be placed next to the symbols. Note that column 3 is set as type Label.
2> Open Plot Details. Go to Symbol tab, click on Preview of symbol gallery, and select the last symbol, which is a blank. This makes the scatter symbols go away.
3> Click on the second dataset line under Layer 1 on the tree in the left panel, to select the Label tab.
4> Go to the Label tab on the right panel, then select Center from the Justify drop-down list to center the label around the data point.
5> Set the X and Y offsets to 0.
You can do further customization of the labels, such as rotation, font, size and color as needed.
