Use case example: Sales and average profit per sale
The bubble chart in above example shows average profit per sale on X-axis, number of sales on Y-axis, and profit of each of the 7 products indicated by bubble size. The intersection points of X and Y-axis variables determine the bubble position.
Profit amount is derived from number of sales and average profit per sale. Bigger the bubble size, higher is the profit amount.
