I have an X-Y graph of sequential measurements made by three different people at random,

Column B: Measurement Number (1, 2, 3, ... ,n)
Column D: Measurement (0.21, 0.36, etc)
Column F: Measurer (Bob, Fred, David)

Right now, if I want to highlight the datapoints that Fred measured (for instance), I am manually clicking on the datapoint and changing its color. Is there an easier way to do this automatically without separating the data into three different groups of measurements?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
I was able to get something close ....

in Column H, I put the formula=If(F1="Bob",D1,"")
in Column I, I put the formula=If(F1="Fred",D1,"")
in Column J, I put the formula=If(F1="David",D1,"")

That allows me to plot three separate sets of data (which I want), but puts the "empty" values a datapoint at 0. Any way around this?
