Dynamically Pinpoint a Data Point in Scatter Plot

Hi

 

I need pinpoint a data point in the scatter plot dynamically. I managed to get this work in SSRS by putting an expression in the series properties / marker colour...

 

=IIF(Fields!CustomerID.Value=Parameters!CustomerID.Value,"Red","Blue")

 

In Power BI, I can only manually assign a colour in the Data colours format. However my use case is that I need this to be dynamic based on a parameter value that I enter when I run the report. 

 

The use case is that this graph will go to an audience telling him or her that is your data point.

 

Can this be done in Power BI scatter plot?
