Bubble Chart or Scatter Plot

I am trying to create a graph that would show revenue on the x axis and time spent on the Y axis and then the dots would grow in size based on revenue and I also want the color of the dot to change based on satisfaction level rating.  Here is the some sample date

Customer      Revenue         time Hr             satisfaction
Cust A      25000            10                       5
Cust B      17500            5.5                       3
Cust C      7000             8                       2
Cust D      12000             9                       4

The dot would be red if it was 1 or 2, Yellow if it was 3 and Green if it is 4 or 5.

Thanks,
Montrof

It seems odd to use Revenue for both the X-axis and the size of the bubble.

It would be much more normal to put the Customer names on the Category axis, with Time on the Y-axis, Revenue for bubble size and color for satisfaction.

If you don't care about customer names, then you could put Revenue on the X-axis, Time on the Y-axis and Satisfaction as bubble size.
Is it possible to use names on the Category axis?

To my knowledge, a bubble chart is like an X-Y scatter chart, and only values can be used for X, Y and bubble size.
