locking scatter plot axis ratios?

Using XY scatter plot to represent geographically distributed data (X axis as easting, Y axis as northing). 

 

Utilizing slicers, I am able to filter down various subsets of the data, however the extents and "distribution ratio" of this data changes depending on what filters are applied.. i.e., some subsets of data extend further north-south than east-west, and vice versa.

 

Is there a way to lock the axis ratios between X and Y axis, so that when the min/max of the axes scales to the data, it doesn't cause exaggeration in one direction or the other based on the overall dimensions of the visualization?

  • Ouch.  While you can influence the min/max values for both axes via measures this won't help you as you will have circular dependencies.

     

    You may want to convert your coordinates into WGS and use standard map visuals instead.

    Unfortunately its a pretty complicated local grid coordinate conversion, I'll keep that option in mind though!
