Note: The X and Y variables can be changed only and cannot be removed.
Add a Variable
Once you have removed an existing variable from the bubble plot, there are two ways to add a new variable:
• Click on the blue underlined role name. See “Change the Variable Assigned to a Role” on page 391.
• In the data table, click on the variable in the column panel, and drag it into the empty role box.
