# Scatter charts

> Relationships between two numeric fields

Scatter charts show the relationship between two numeric fields. Use them when you want to compare two measures for each record or group, such as revenue versus seats, margin versus discount, or response time versus request volume.

## When to use

* Finding correlations between two numeric metrics
* Spotting outliers in grouped data
* Comparing accounts, products, users, or regions across two measures

## Example prompt

```
Plot monthly recurring revenue against active seats by account as a scatter chart
```

## Tips

* Use one numeric field for the x-axis and one numeric field for the y-axis.
* Add labels or a breakdown when each point represents a meaningful entity.
* Filter to a focused segment when too many points make the chart hard to read.
