How to Switch X and Y Axes in a Scatter Chart
As already discussed, a scatter chart shows the independent variable on the horizontal axis and the dependent variable on the vertical axis. To switch the X and Y axes in a scatter chart, Excel provides a straightforward method that doesn’t even require recognizing your data in the worksheet. You can swap X and Y data series directly within the chart. Follow the below steps to swap X and Y axes:
Step 1: Click on the Scatter Chart to select it. Excel will display small handles around the chart area
Step 2: In the “Chart Design” tab that appears on the Excel Ribbon, locate the “Switch Row/Column button”.
Step 3: Click the “Switch Row/Column” button. Excel will instantly swap the X and Y data series in the Chart.
Step 4: The X-axis will now display the values that were originally on the Y-axis, and vice versa.
