A simple scatter plot

To begin we will construct a a simple scatter plot:

1. Select (highlight) the data to be graphed.

2. Insert > Chart > Next.

3. Select the XY chart > Next.

4. Accept the symbols only selection > Next.

5. Add a title: Weather Conditions.

6. Check the box beside the x-axis label to accept the label Wind speed (km/hr).

7. Check the box beside the y axes label and type in a title. Percent Cloud Cover.

8. Uncheck the legend box (we do not need a legend for only one y-variable).

9. Click Create.

This gives us the graph in Figure 57. This basic graph could use some improvements.
