Developing and plotting data in Excel.

SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on creating a series of numbers in Excel to plot voltage values against corresponding x-axis values. The user seeks assistance in generating a column of x-values that correspond to a set of voltage measurements, specifically from 0 to 6, to facilitate plotting. The voltages provided are 0.854, 0.756, 0.659, 0.589, 0.458, 0.365, and 0.000, which need to be plotted on the y-axis. The solution involves using Excel's auto-fill feature to generate the x-values and then selecting the data to create a scatter plot.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel functions
  • Understanding of data plotting techniques in Excel
  • Familiarity with scatter plots and their applications
  • Concept of delta in data representation
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to use Excel's auto-fill feature for series generation
  • Explore creating scatter plots in Microsoft Excel
  • Research data visualization best practices in Excel
  • Understand the significance of delta in data analysis
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for data analysts, Excel users, and anyone involved in visualizing numerical data, particularly in scientific or engineering contexts.

Hi ,
I want to create a simple series which give me the following:

0
1
2
3
4
5
.
.
.

from the cells.
Please can some help me with it?

what I really doing is:


I have a set of numbers which represent voltages (of a nodes) inside a dielectric.
say:

0.854
0.756
0.659
0.589
0.458
0.365
0

I want to plot them as the voltage for y-axis , and X for x axis.
So I need to make them correspond like this:


VOLT X
0.854 6
0.756 5
0.659 4
0.589 3
0.458 2
0.365 1
0.000 0

I need to create this colum ( on the side ) to be able to plot the different voltages.
The voltages are computed at the nodes that have distant each other by delta=1/N where N is the number of rows(here 7).
I don't know if this information is relevant to solve this isue.

Thank you
B

Try:
row 1 = 0
row 2 = row 1+1
row 3 = row 2+1
etc etc by drag duplicate formula
 
It is not clear what you question is?

you can start a pattern then grab the black square which will appear in the lower right hand corner to do a auto fill. Once you have the columns you need, select them and pick SCATTER PLOT from the chart type menu.
