Hi folks ~ appreciate any help with the following! ✨
I would like to create the following scatterplots :
Scatterplot 1
• x-axis : Temp Reason → [Termination Reason Sort] 'Term Reason'
• y-axis : Salary Range → [Salary sort] 'Salary Range'
• size of bubble : count of employee → [_measure] 'employees terminated total'
Scatterplot 2
• x-axis : Temp Reason → [Termination Reason Sort] 'Term Reason'
• y-axis : Salary Range → [Department] 'department'
• size of bubble : count of employee → [_measure] 'employees terminated total'
I am not able to use either [Salary sort] 'Salary Range' or [Department] 'department' as the y-axis.
Note 1 :
I have created a DAX measure to calculate / sort the number of terminated emoployees according to their salary range → [_measure] 'salary range measure (terminated)'
I tried using that for the y-axis and it does not work either.
My desired result :

Many thanks in advance! ✨
Solved! Go to Solution.
Best you can do is use the min limit.
Generally Scatter Plots are based on a coordinate system, and require numerical values for both x and y axes. You are trying to use not one but two non-numerical values. That can only be done with custom visuals.
