Dot plot chart does not display many items at tha same day

Hi folks,
I don't have much experience with Power BI and thank you in advance for your help.
I'm trying to create some graphs to provide more transparent information to my development team.

I would like to represent the team's cycle time information precisely with the SLE (Service Level Expectation) of 85%, etc.

I'm trying to do this with a dot plot, but I'm running into the following problem:

If there are more than 1 item on a given date, the chart doesn't display a point for each item. It simply groups them together as in the example below:

I would like to display at tha same way that this grah below:

Is there any way to do this in power BI?

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi @railtons 

If you want display the items at the same way, you need to put the related item name to the legend, you can see the following sample.

Sample data

To display the the items in the same date in the plot, need to put the type column to the legend.
