Bubble Chart with Date on y-axis and contract name to be on the bubble instead of legend

I want to create a bubble chart with each bubble respresent 1 contract with x-axis is contract value, y-axis is contract date, the size is number of employee. I run into issue that I can't make contract date to be in y-axis and the contract name does not show on the bubble (I have to make it as legends but ideally I just want them to show the name with 1 color only).

Hi @tdinh ,

Based on my testing, it is impossible to drag the date column directly into the Y-axis.

please try the following methods as workaround:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Create the new column to calculate the date week.

week number = WEEKNUM('Table'[Date], 2)

3.Drag the column into the scatter chart.

4.The result is shown below.

5.You can move the mouse over the bubble to display the contract name.
