A scatter chart will show the relationship between two different variables represented by the X and Y axes.
1. Scatter Chart
In this chart, we are displaying Users and Revenue by Age Group for the selected time range.
Use Bubble Charts: for the same configuration, bubble size will represent the third value and are the best alternative for Scatter Charts, shown in the next example
Recommended: Yes, With One Dimension
It’s best to stay one dimensional with both Scatter and Bubble Charts. More than one dimension will be hard to differentiate to most of your report’s audience — see next example
Yes, test for the number bubble that can fit inside the chart, and too many bubbles will make the chart difficult to read.
2. Scatter Chart: Two or more Dimensions
In this chart, we are displaying Users and Revenue by age Group. Bubble Size (Optional) representing Revenue per user
Recommended: No
No, unless it's absolutely necessary. In general, you should avoid having Scatter and Bubble charts with two dimensions as it will be hard to differentiate to most of your report’s audience.
