A Bubble chart is a variation of a Scatter chart in which the data pointers are replaced with bubbles. The Bubble charts are often used to present financial data. Use the Bubble chart when you want to emphasize specific values.

 

The Bubble chart needs 3 values: x, y and size. Depending on the data model and visualization purpose, the bubble chart may contain single series or multi-series data fields.
