You should break column B:B in two columns, by alternate rows, in order
to base a x-y scatter chart on them. Assuming your data start in B1.
Assuming your 2-column breakdown table starts in C2.

In C2:
=OFFSET($B$1, 2*(ROW()-ROW($C$2)), 0)
In D2:
=OFFSET($B$1, 2*(ROW()-ROW($C$2))+1, 0)

How about *1000
A B C
LOAD 1 =B1*1000
Displacement 0.001 =B2*1000
Then you can chart it so it is visible

Sorting with key = the load-displacement column lets you seprate loads and
displs - you can grab one block and move it next to the other. You may need
to start with an index column with entries = row number. That will always
allow you to recover the original order and correspondence.

Another possibility - use the OFFSET function with a row offset of 2*ROW()-n.
Here n depends on which varible you want and were your data is.

I am close to getting it now, but cant quite get it right. Let me show you a
bit clearer what i am trying to do.

Load, 0.001
Displ1, 0.009
Displ2, 0.006

Load, 0.005
Displ1, 0.016
Displ2, 0.011
Etc
Etc

How would i need to change the formula you gave me earlier 'vezerid'?

So if I understand you correctly you want to plot one indepedent and 2
dependent variables? Then your data will be every 3 rows? If so, adapt
the previous formulae as follows:

In C2:
=OFFSET($B$1, 3*(ROW()-ROW($C$2)), 0)
In D2:
=OFFSET($B$1, 3*(ROW()-ROW($C$2))+1, 0)
In E2:
=OFFSET($B$1, 3*(ROW()-ROW($C$2))+2, 0)

Does this help?
