# Viewing a scatterplot of two numeric columns

Scatterplots provide a quick visual way for detecting a correlation between two numeric columns. To view a scatterplot of two columns:

1. In the Summary view, select a numeric column on the left, and a numeric column in the covariate table
2. Below the covariate view, ensure that the button labeled Dots is selected
3. A scatterplot with the column on the Y axis and covariate on the X axis will appear in the covariate view
