Just had a chance to look at your data and noticed something that may help. You have a question "water depth" which has several values. If you code those values solely as numbers (no text or words at all), then you can graph them on the x or y axis (so you could do phi2 by depth, for example). However, if you add any text at all, then you cannot.

So keep that in mind when you are coding - it's generally better to stick with numbers only for values you may want to later graph in a scatterplot.
