    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.

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.
