Excel: How to assign data to bubble diagram to influence bubble size

I'm working on a report in which I want to create a bubble diagram, which represents the ocurrances of genders male and female corresponding to a specific age, but I'm struggling with editing the data view, so it displays the results as I want them.



My data rows look as follows:
enter image description here



The numbers following the labels "Male" and "Female" represent the number of ocurrances of the specific gender corresponding to the given age in the first row.



What I would like the diagram to look like:
enter image description here



And this is the current diagram I could create for now, but even after trying to align the data according to how I understand, how diagrams work in excel, I still can't assign the data on the correct axis:



enter image description here



Is it even possible in excel to create a bubble diagram the way I want to?
Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

          You can do it with the help of two helper rows, each filled with the same number:



          enter image description here



          You then right click on the chart and select Select Data and choose Edit:



          enter image description here



          For the Y value of each series, enter the corresponding helper row:



          enter image description here



          Your chart should now look like this:



          enter image description here

          • Thank you very much for your answer. It worked really well. I sometimes forget to create helper data for creating the diagram and not just for the raw data itself.
