What is Bubble Chart Visualization in Excel

A bubble chart, an extension of a Scatter plot, is widely used to depict correlations between three or more numerical variables. A single data point is represented by each bubble in a chart. Each bubble’s value is represented by 1) its horizontal location on the x-axis, 2) its vertical position on the y-axis, and 3) its size. The color of the bubble or its movement in animation can sometimes symbolize additional dimensions.

By adding a third numeric column that determines the size of the data points, you may change the Scatter Chart visualization to the Bubble Chart visualization.
