Create S-curve into my scatter chart in PowerBI

Pls help.  Only Constant straight lines can be added from "Analytics".

Hi @yr112 ,

 

In Power BI, the scatter visual does not support dynamic curved lines through the Analytics pane only constant reference lines are permitted.

To plot an S-curve based on your measure values, it must be rendered as a proper data series, and that capability is available only in a Line (or Combo) chart.

You can approximate the same look-and-feel by configuring the Line chart with:

  • X-axis = your numeric/months field (continuous)

  • Y-axis = your completion % measure

  • Add your data points as markers enabled

  • Switch the line style to “smooth”

This will allow you to preserve the point-based view while also overlaying the S-curve series.

So the equivalent visual is achievable but it must be implemented using a Line chart visual, because Scatter charts today do not support curved analytic series.

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

 

Thank you.

Hi @yr112 

 

 I don't think this is available in the scatter graph, could you use a line chart instead?
