Scatter plot - overlapping Data points

I have created a scatter plot with point having the same cordinates, but when i click on any of the points it shows data  for only one point , it ignores the other overlapping points. Example it shows only point P.04 where as it ignores I.01 which also lie on the same cordinate . Can anyone help me to resolve the issue ?

    Hello,

     

    Please, try the following steps:

     

    "The scatter dots are rendered sequentially, and in this case since they are perfectly stacked so only one gets the click event. For points like this,

    if the user wants a single click to select all 5, they need a scatter chart that has a composite group on X and Y. Remove Reference from Details, then update aggregation for X and Y to be “Don’t summarize”:

    Place this visual exactly on top of the first. Then open the selection pane and ensure the X/Y grouped visual is higher in Z Order so it gets the clicks. The chart underneath will only be used for category labels. Also, increasing the size of the dots makes them more clickable."
