The thing to realize about this is that color assignments are done on columns (datasets in the terminology of the software). The separated scatter plot will instead group all of the variables together within each treatment group.Īlternatively, you could swap the assignments for rows and columns, but you'll still need to put the measurements for the 6-8 subjects on a single row in the subcolumns of the appropriate column. The interleaved scatter plot will group together all 6 treatment groups together within each variable. Once your data are entered in this way, you can switch to the graph sheet and select (as you pointed out) an interleaved or separated scatter plot. Make sure you enter the values for the 6-8 subjects in each treatment group in the subcolumns of the appropriate row for the given measured variable

Use the rows to represent your variables (so in total, you'll have 10 rows though in the screenshot I thought I counted 11) Use the main columns to represent your treatment groups (so 6 columns, each with 8 subcolumns) I'll warn you, this organization is going to be a little different than you'd likely encounter in other packages. Now I can't do a scatterplot, it's called an 'Interleaved scatter' lolīased on your description, you'll probably want to make a Grouped data table with the option 'Enter 8 replicates in side-by-side subcolumns'.

I'm guessing I've got something entered wrong, but I have no idea what I need to change, and Graphpad's own tutorial isn't exactly explicit or helpful in this.Įdit: I've transposed my data and now it's Grouped with subcolumns for my variables with rows being data for one subject.

I get scatter plots with all groups and all variables. I'm trying to do scatter plots like this, but I can't find the option to choose only one variable (row). I have my data entered in a Grouped table by treatment where rows are my different variables and subcolumns are my subjects. I would like to get some nice graphs of my data grouped by variable.

I have 6 treatment groups, each with n=6-8 subjects, and I have 10 measured variables for each subject. I'm the babiest of baby Prism users, this is the first afternoon I've tried to stick it out and learn how to enter data (all other times I've lasted about 5 minutes and given up), so please assume I have no idea WTF you're talking about. I'm getting bug-eyed trying to figure out how to enter my data into Prism to get it to do what I want, so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has any tips.
