I have several data series identified by "x" and "y" coordinates that I want to represent in a graph. In Numbers how to differentiate different data series with different symbols (i.e. "x", "o, "+") on the same chart? I tried to change symbols according with data set, but Numbers change ALL the markers. Thank you

Hi eissad64,
Arrange your data like this, select columns B to E and insert a Scatter Plot
Click on the graph and Edit Data References. Untick Share X values to get X Y X Y.
Now you can click on a series and format the Data Symbol.
The strange appearance of 3.41, 2 is because there are overlapping points.
Happy Numbering!
Regards,
Ian.

It may take a little fiddling to learn the process, but the basic steps are:
I created this example by starting with the 'Scatter Chart' sheet in the 'Charting Basics' template at File > New in the menu.
The chart type is '2D Scatter'.

Thanks SG! I realized that I didn't explain my problem well. I would like to represent different parts of the same data series with different symbols. For example, in the attached table, I would like to have the data in the green box represented with "o" and those in the red box with "x". Is it possible? Thanks

How do I differentiate different data series with different symbols on the same chart in Numbers?
