C10: Bubble charts

This template shows another example of a chart with two value axes: Bubbles representing products are arranged in a coordinate system for “Market attractiveness” and “Relative market share”.

The Size of the bubbles corresponds to the “Net sales” of the respective product. This template can be used best, if the bubble position is defined by two independent (product) properties and the bubble size is defined by a third independent (product) property. The number of bubbles can be from a very few up to a hundred or even more (depending on the bubble size).
