Dynamically change X & Y axis on Scatter graph

Hello All,

Need your suggestion-

 

I have a scatter graph with X & Y axis. Say, I have building and vehicle on X & Y axis respectively. Now I need to change those dynamically to theft and robbery. I can create the category for x and y axis values and when user selects 2 combination from slicer then the axises should change accordingly. 

 

Could you please advise how to achieve this or is they any way to make this happen?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Could you please provide more description about your requirement?

 

How is current scatter chart like? And how should it be changed to after users select a value from slicer? If would be better you can post sample data and screenshot.

Hello All,

 

Anyone have any idea about this? Please advise.

 

Thanks!

I can feel your frustration ... your problem is basically the same I posted in this thread;

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Scatter-Chart-dynamic-X-and-Y-axis-title/td-p/317425

 

There are some hacks/workarounds, but they are not really satisfactory. Having the axis titles change depending on the dataset are basic functionality in many other BI tools.

 

I posted an idea here, but I have a feeling this is not Microsoft's priority:

Thanks @JohnP

 

I will go through the pbix file mentioned in Chris Webb's blogs but I am afraid if that could work for me or not. But it will surely give me some workaround idea.

 

I have voted to the idea.

 

Thank you again!

Hi @v-yulgu-msft

 

Sorry for not being clear. I have scatter chart. On x axis I have no of burglary of building and on y burglary of vehicles and vakues shows the crime numbers occured on both categories. Now use want to have the x & y asis dynamic i.e. they can compare the relation between two other crime categories e.g. murder and theft, accident or drunk n drive etc. I am not sure how we could change axises dynamically as it was degned in desktop.

 

So I am thinking to have combinations of crime catgories in slicer and then dynically show that chart but now sure if this is feasible.

 

I am striggeling to post screenshot here. Not sure earlier it was easy to attach but now its made hard to post.

 

Please advise. Thanks!
