Highlight dot dynamically

Hi,

擷取.PNG
This picture is from "The big book of dashboards", and this concepts is very useful in my company's scenario,
but i can't use PowerBI to acheieve it.
What i what to do is:
when i filter some conditions, if data is in the conditions, then the dot is blue, but others are gray,
so it can show me where is the dot and i can compare it with others easily. 
(If not only single dots are in the conditions, then highlight those dots)
Can anyone teach me how to do it? 
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi @danielllin,

 

not quite sure if I understand the image you shared 100%, but the in the default scatter plot of Power BI there is an option of semi-dynamically setting the color of dots via Formatting -> Data colors -> Advanced controls -> setting the appropriate rules. 

Take a look at the documentation provided by Microsoft

 

Making use of the cross-filtering and highlighting capabilities of Power BI may also be worth exploring for you.

 

If you can provide specific requirements of what you need, as well as some example data(or subset of real data), I'll be happy to help you.

 

best regards,

Sturla
