[Excel] How to make a dotplot with positive and negative values

This dotplot easily manages changes in the data (positive and negative values, sort order) while keeping labels close to the axis.

This is based on a scatterplot, where your data is displayed along the x-axis and the y values are generated by ranking the x values.
Category labels are placed along and close to the y axis, that’s why [LblX] is added.
Columns [Neg] and [Pos] are used to split column [X] into positive and negative values.
Columns [NegLbl] and [PosLbl] do the same for the [Label] column.
