Clustering
Does the "automatically find clusters" functionality referrred to in the November 2016 release announcement actually exist? I have enabled "Clustering" under Options/Preview Features, but I cannot find any buttons for this functionality in an x-y scatter visualization, in the field list, or anywhere.
I'm using Desktop, Version: 2.42.4611.701 64-bit (January, 2017). I have enabled "Clustering" under Options/Preview Features.
Was the feature deployed with the November 2016 update, and then removed from the current release? Or am I missing something?
Hi gwp,
Yes, to use Automatically find clusters feature, we shouldn't place any field in Legend property. As after we click Automatically find clusters button and the clustering algorithm runs, it will create a new categorical field with the different cluster groups in it. This new field will be adding to the scatter chart's legend property automatically to class bubbles.

It's working for fine for me, exactly the same build. The instructions are in the link you posted.
Did you restart Power BI Desktop (as instructed) after enabling that Preview feature?
Thanks to mike_honey and dkay84_PowerBI
I did restart, and I did click the three dots as per instructions. No luck.
But, I did make some progress. It turns out the Legend field of an XY scatter plot needs to be empty for the "automatically find clusters" functionality to show up.
When I empty the legend field, the find clusters option becomes available, and the app attempts to find clusters within the Details field.

- Click on the three dots in the upper right of your visual
I am having the same problem.
I can not even find the "enabled "Clustering" under Opions/Preview Features", where is that located? Does that even exist anymore?

It is no longer a preview feature
Ok, does that mean it exists in a different location, or it does not exist in Power BI at all, anymore?
