I need a graph where the X and Y axis meet at zero in the middle of the
graph with positive and negatives numbers on both. My plan is to use this
chart to analyze data as to what quadrant it falls into, eg. Quadrant I would
be if the product was positive on the Y axis but negative on the X axis. Q2
= positive on Y, positive on X Q3 = negative y and negative Q4 negative y
and positive x.

Try googling for "BCG matrix" for examples of this kind of four quadrant graph. "BCG" stands for Boston Consulting Group. There's an example on Ed Ferrero's page:

http://www.edferrero.com/Charting.aspx

which not only has four quadrants, and bubbles for product size, but also the bubbles are pie charts for some other quality of the product.
