Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for.

 

Another question though, is there a way you can do analytics on this, like adding a median line, trend line, etc.? If not, is there another visualization that would let you do this?

Hello Anonymous,

 

Glad to hear that you are using 'Dot Plot by MAQ Software'.

For analytics of the data, you can use 'Box and Whisker by MAQ Software' - https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381351

Apart from plotting points, it also provides median, mean, standard deviation, quartile deviation, and many more.

The user guide for Box and Whisker can be downloaded from - https://github.com/maqsoftware/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/documents/Published/Box%20and%20Whisker/Box%20and%20Whisker%20User%20Guide.docx

    Hi,

     

    This is quite an old post. But I was wondering...
    I have this scatter plot where I would really really like to display x-axis as date. I am trying to do this with Dot Plot by MAQ Software, however, when I have two or more data points on the same date it summarizes those. Is it possible to display all datapoints instead of summarizing?
