Create a lollipop plot

Complete four decisions for orientation, X mapping, and value columns.

Step 1

Choose range and output

Use the full table or current selection, then create a new figure or add to an existing one.

Step 2

Choose orientation

Vertical stems connect to the Y-axis baseline. Horizontal stems connect to the X-axis baseline and suit longer category labels.

Step 3

Choose X mapping

Shared X uses one X column for several value series. Paired X-Y gives each series its own X column.

Step 4

Map data and create

Choose the X and value columns, with optional error bars. Then refine the baseline, stems, markers, labels, and axes.

Confirm the mapping and orientation, then click Create Figure.
