NOTE: A Values Plot is typically used with Variable Data. When using Attribute Data, keep in mind that the Values Plot DOES plot the entirety of your data set. However, it does not automatically uncluster/offset groups of multiple points w/ the same numerical value in a column, like in an Individual Value Plot. QI Macros does not offer an Individual Value Plot.
