 By clicking '''Data''' inbetween the ''Graph'' and ''Mapping'' button, it allows users to input or vary the values of the data set. There are two different types of data that is allowed for plotting data points which are one categorical variable (e.g., Series) and the remaining values as quantitative variables (numerical values). Below these values list the statistical values for each categorical value as demonstrated in the following image:
