How to Detect Outliers in a Scatterplot

Hello,

 

First-time poster here, so please forgive any mistakes in forum etiquette.

 

I'd like to dynamically detect and visualize outliers in my scatterplot in PowerBI. It looks like there used to be a visual called Outliers Detection (featured at 27:27 in this March 2018 update coverage), but it seems to have disappeared and I can't find any information about it online.

 

Do you know if Outliers Detection still exists? If not, do you know if there's some other way to automatically detect and visualize outliers in a scatterplot using something like Cook's distance?

 

Thank you!

Hi @doughey 

It is true that the visual no longer exists.
Also, it wasn't from Microsoft.
Using Dax and a scatterplot, you can achieve good results.
Please take a look at the attached video which may be helpful.
