Help with Matrix chart

Hi,

 

I have created the below matrix chart where bubbles represent regions. Y-axis is percentage that changes based on selected slicer for "category" (example, category1, category2, category3) and X-axis is percentage for category "ABC" which doesn't change. We are trying to compare "ABC" vs category selected in the slicer. 

 

I do need to include these blue dashed lines for x and y-axis which should change based on selected category in the slicer. These dashed lines represent weighted average for "ABC" and selected category from slicer respectively. I am not sure how to bring these dashed lines that can change based on slicer selection dynamically. In this example, the weighted average for "ABC" is 36.9% and the weighted average for "category1" from the slicer is 63.9%. So, for now, I manually entered the values using Y-Axis Constant Line and X-axis  Constant Line as shown below. However, I would like these dashed lines to change automatically or dynamically based on different category selected in the slicer. 

 
 
 

 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

 

Thank you!

      So, can we show the simple average in these dashed line. If yes, can you please guide me on that. I might need to consider this option if nothing works, I believe.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I'm afraid this couldn't be achieved because the value of constant line is determined by constant value, it can't be changed by slicer. 

     

    I also recommend you create an idea for it  in https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas to improve the power bi.

      Thank you! Using a constant line was just a temporary solution. But I think I am really looking for the right way to show lines for x and y lines ie. these lines need to be dynamic. But thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    For lines for x, you can create a new line chart  and add measure for line for x.  Then hide the legend,X-axis and Y-axis title, etc on line chart. Place the two visuals overlapping.  Please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53212642/add-a-dynamic-constant-line-based-on-column-in-powerbi

     

    For lines for y, I really did not find any workaround and alternative custom visual. You may need to create R visual for it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-r-visuals
