How can I get custom Data Labels in a Scatter plot

Hi, 

 

I have a scatter plot b/w X and Y and now I need data labels on the markers of a different column in the table say A which does not figure in X or Y.

How Can I add these as datalabels to my scatter plot ? ( In excel it lets us choose a separate column to act as data labels)

Hi @Anonymous -Currently, Power BI doesn't support directly adding custom labels on the scatter plot markers.you can create a custom tooltip (tooltip) to show your labels when hovering over the points
