How to make a bubble chart

Hello,

 

I am trying to make a bubble chart but can't get it the way I want it. I have the following data in a table: a person's name, a person's score , a person's attitude and a person's potential score. All these data are expressed as a percentage. Here are some examples of the data:

 

NameScoreAttitudePotential Score
John Johnson70%60%80%
Chris Paul80%70%80%
Adam Brooks60%60%60%

 

In my bubble chart, I would like the score on the Y-axis, the attitude on the X-axis and the potential score as the size of the bubble.

 

When I place these three fields in the appropriate column of my visual, I don't see 1 bubble per person but just a number of bubbles with a combination score - attitude. In addition, for the size of the bubble I can only choose between sum / average / ... of the potential score but not the potential score belonging to the person.

 

Any idea which settings I should use correctly for my visual?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Use the fields as shown in the image in my original reply. You should see the size of the bubble corresponding to potential score.

Thank you @Shaurya , I now get to see a bubble for each person but each bubble is still the same size, namely 220 (80+80+60). How could I fix that the bubble shows the exact potential score for the person?
