How to use it

  1. The first column is X (for example ad spend), the second is Y (for example inquiries).
  2. An optional third text column groups points, such as channel or product line, in different colours.
  3. Turn on the trend line to see the equation and R² for the linear relationship.

Data format example

Copying from a spreadsheet gives this format, with tabs between columns:

Ad spend	Inquiries	Channel
320	9	Search
280	5	Social

Frequently asked questions

How do I bring in data from Excel?

Select the range including headers in Excel, WPS or Google Sheets, copy and paste it into the data box; tabs are detected automatically, and CSV or comma- or semicolon-separated text works too. Thousands separators, currency symbols and percent signs are removed.

Is there a watermark? Can I put it in PowerPoint?

No watermark. PNG exports at twice the chosen size and SVG is vector, so both stay sharp in PowerPoint, Word or print; you can also copy the image and paste it directly.

Is my data uploaded?

No. Data is parsed and drawn in your browser. A share link carries the data after the # in the URL, which is never sent to the server; only people with the link can see it.

What does R² mean?

R² is the share of the variation explained by the straight line, between 0 and 1; the closer to 1, the tighter the points sit around the line. It measures linear association, not cause and effect.

Scatter plot maker practical guide and common questions

What does a Scatter plot maker do?

The first two numeric columns are X and Y and the first text column colours the groups; the trend line uses least squares with slope, intercept and R².

Who is this for, and when is it useful?

Analysts and media buyers checking how two measures relate, such as ad spend and inquiries or price and sales.

How do I use this Scatter plot maker?

X in the first column, Y in the second and an optional group column; turn on the trend line for the equation and R², then export.

How should I interpret the results?

R² measures linear association, not cause; outliers can pull the line strongly, so check the data first.

Where is the work performed, and which services receive data?

Points, groups and trend lines are calculated in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
