Hi,
I have what I think is a simple problem that I cant figure out. Help would be great.
I want to plot two parameters, say y1 and y2. I don't care for x, but ideally the proposed solution would be able to handle a variable on x.
I want to show box plots and points overlayed, however the box plot separates correctly (see image 1)
but the points stack in same column (see image 2),
resulting in an overlay graph like this (see image3).
How do I get it such that the points are separated like the box plots?
Just to reiterate - if you are plotting Y1 against some x, this works per obvious methods of selecting "add points". But since I have Y1 and Y2, it doesnt seem to work through normal methods.

Try stacking the response columns via Tables > Stack. You should then have 1 response column and another column with labels corresponding to the column names that were stacked. If you put the new consolidated response column in Y and the Label column in X, you can get the box plots with the data overlayed.
Here's an example where I did this with the Thickness data in the sample data library. I stacked all the Thickness columns and made this plot from the results:
This solution will still allow for other X-variables because you can nest other X-variables into the X drop zone, or use the Group X drop zone.
