Hi
Is there a way to get the x-axis default in the scatter plot to accept non-numeric data?

Hi. The X axis has to be numerical. If you want to have categorical data in your scatter plot I think you could take your X variable and create a new, numeric variable (X2) in each category in X is represented by a perhaps-arbitrary number in X2. Then produce a scatter plot relating X2 to Y.
