Scatter Chart

Scatter charts are used to understand the correlation between two variables easily. 

A scatter chart always has two value axes: one set of numerical data running horizontally and another set of numerical data running vertically

Each dot in the scatter chart below represents a month, with the horizontal X axis representing the Quarter and the vertical Y axis representing Sales. Power view can distribute these data points evenly or unevenly across the horizontal axis.  It is determined by the data that the chart represents.
