Dynamic X and Y Axis Using Groupings in Field Parameters in a Scatter Plot

Dear community,

 

I followed the instructions in this link and now when trying to add the values in Y and X axis I am facing multiple errors. I'd attach a sample file, however, I can't do it here. Could you advise whether it would be possible to add values in Y and X axis in the way I've tried to do it?

 

I also watched the Guy in a cube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eurc0EY2Xg&ab_channel=GuyinaCube) and that way doing too brings me the same errors.

 

Basically, I'd like to create a case where a user can switch what measure is on Y and X axis for a scatter plot.

 

Best regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to my test, Scatter Chart currently do not support dynamic switching of the X and Y axes in the same slicer, you need to create separate field parameters for them.
