What is Scatter Plots in Tableau

In all your visualizations so far, you have mostly dealt with qualitative variables. Now, suppose you want to plot two quantitative variables against each other or two quantitative variables on a categorical variable. For this purpose, you can use a scatter plot. In the video below the faculty explains the scatterplot. 

In the next segment, you will learn about a way to bring together multiple data sources.

As you saw in the video, a scatter plot allows you to compare the values of the two quantitative variables that you have plotted, for every available point on the graph. Typically, a scatter plot is used for investigating relationships between quantitative variables, such as age and income.

You can also add categorical variables to the shape and size options in the 'Marks' card to make a scatter plot more informative and interactive.

Here is an opportunity to use the skills you have learned to create a scatter plot on your own.
