Bubble Chart and DAX Calculation

Hi.

 

I cannot figure out the way to build a bubble chart based on this data set, where 

 

1- x-axis should be the total actual office visits for ANY given customer (i.e. sum column 2)

2- y-axis should be the total planned office visits for ANY given customer (i.e. sum column 3)

3- bubble size is the number of customers that have the same (x,y) combination, e.g., 3 actual, 3 planned

 

Customer_IDMonthly_office_visitMonthly_office_planned
111
212
323
424
531
632
713
822
922
1022
133
234
311
212
323
424
531
232
413

 

Could anyone please help ?

 

Thanks

Start by creating these 3 Measures and 1 Column

 

Visits = SUM ( 'Table'[Monthly_office_visit] )

Planned = SUM ( 'Table'[Monthly_office_planned] )

Size Column =
DIVIDE (
CALCULATE ( [Visits], ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Customer_ID] ) ),
CALCULATE ( [Planned], ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Customer_ID] ) ),
0
)

Size Measure =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Customer_ID] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Size Column] )
)

Then create your bubble chart like this...

Awesome. Works perfectly.

Hi Sean.

 

Thank you for your quick answer that already helped. I have an incremental question on metrics #3, though. Could you please further help?

 

Size should be the VOLUME of customers for ANY given pair (planned,visit), i.e. if 41 customers have 2 visits planned and 2 actual vists, then size of bubble should be 41, if 23 customers have 1 visit planned and 3 actual visits, then size of bubble should be 23, etc.

 

I used 

 

size = distinctcount(customer_id) ... but when plotted, I got homogeneous bubbles.

 

 

What is wrong in my DAX ? 

 

Thanks
