Dynamic Reference Line: Scatter Chart

Hi everyone,

 

I am currently trying to display a reference line on the X and Y axis to generate a form of magic quadrant that splits the data up into 4 sections. Essentially, I want the reference line to always be placed half way between the minimum and maximum value of both x and y axis, rather than a static reference line - dynamic, if you will. 

 

The 4 quadrants will be based on the data points having a value higher or lower than the two dynamic lines. If the point falls above both of lines, its in the top right quadrant. If it falls below both of lines, the data point will fall in the bottom left quadrant. TL;DR - I want the legend to be dynamic rather than static based on two reference lines (number of transactions and size of transactions). 

 

Is this possible to do given this visual? I highly doubt it, but I thought I would ask. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Regards and thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

It seems you'd like the visual as below

You could find  Quadrant Chart custom visual in Power BI.

 

The default Scatter chart doesn't support to add such feature,

If the custom visual doesn't meet your requirement completely,

you could vote the similar idea here.

 

Best Regards
Maggie
