Bubble charts require three dimensions. Only one dimension can be placed on the column axis. Up to two dimensions can be placed on the row axis. There must be two columns in the dimension positioned on the columns axis. These columns may be the result of selecting two dimension members, or the result of including a calculated column with a dimension member. The values in the first two columns provide the X and Y values required to plot the chart.
A third column provides the Z value used to determine the bubble size. If no third column is available, a constant of 100 is used to determine the bubble size.
