Help fixing Scatter Plot Expansion

I am working on a project analyzing Mo Salah's shot performance in the 24/25 season.

I have run into a problem where whenever I select a result from a slicer it expands the scatter plot. How do I stop this from happening? I want the selected result to only show and not move from its position as it distorts the picture I am trying to convey.

These are the images before and after selecting the slicerafter selectionafter selection

Hi @wisdomdesagesse ,

 

Set the maximum and minimum value of the X and Y axis and you should get your problem solved.

Hello @wisdomdesagesse,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

I’ve reproduced your issue step by step in Power BI using sample data, and I was able to achieve the expected output you described:

When selecting a specific result (e.g: Goal) in the slicer, only the relevant shots remain visible in the scatter plot, without the visual expanding or rescaling.

When clearing the slicer selection, all points reappear in the same layout, maintaining consistent positions relative to the axes.

This confirms that fixing the axis min and max values successfully prevents the chart from zooming or distorting when filters are applied.

For your reference, I am attaching the .pbix file so you can see exactly how it has been implemented. You can review the settings and adapt them to your own report.


Thank you, @MFelix for sharing valuable insights.
