Scatterplot of one x and 5 y / adjustment of example code

General
1

Hello everybody,

as a final challenge, I want to create a scatterplot of the dataset below, with Companies as x and the corresponding values as y. I found the ideal example code of the iris dataset based on dplyr and tidyr:

exampleData <-
iris %>%
filter(Species == "setosa") %>%
slice(1:10) %>%
select(Sepal.Length:Petal.Length)

exampleData

toPlot <-
exampleData %>%
gather(sepalMeasure, size, -Petal.Length)

toPlot %>%
ggplot(aes(x = Petal.Length
, y = size
, col = sepalMeasure)) +
geom_point()

I´m desperately trying to adjust the code, but I just don´t get it fixed without any help.
Thank you already for any advice and support!!

The sample is a scatterplot of two continuous variables of a subset of one of three species with multiple observations; the bank data has four continuous variables of 22 companies with single observations of each continuous variable. These are incommensurate.

To just do a scatterplot, pick any pair of the X2... variables. If these represent years, a scatterplot will not be as informative as a time series plot.

Hello @technocrat,

thank you very much (again) for your time, help and explanation. Indeed, the X2.. variables represent years. Despite the drawbacks (and for reasons of space), the data sadly have to be united in a single graph.

Here is a single-graph display. It presents some challenges in distinguishing among the large number of series.

I can´t thank you enough @technocrat! You saved a qualitative researcher´s life!

Still, consider subsets into batches of 7,7 and 8 to improve legibility if you can escape the single plot constraint
