Logarithmic scaled scatter chart?
Hi Koopakiller,
BAsed on my test, if X-axis and Y-axis values contain negative values, and we have placed field in Details or Legend, the "Log" will disappear under Scale Type option. Please check if you have added any filed in Details or Legend properties.

Hi v-qiuyu-msft
I tried to add a new data source with some negative and positive numbers and set the X and Y Source of a scatter chart. I did not set a detail or legend field but the Log option is still not available. If I set a legend or details field it still not appears.
Hi Koopakiller,
In a scatter chart, if only X Axis and Y Axis properties have values(both negative and positive), only one data point displays in the chart as it's aggregated. In this scenario, Log option is available for X Axis Scatter type. But if we placed any field in Details or Legend property, Log option is not available. Please check attached .PBIX file.

Qiuyun YuHi all,
I downloaded your file and selected the lower chart. The available scaling types for x-axis is still only "Linear":
If I remove "Column" from Details, I was able to set the scale type to Log. So it works how you described it. My mistake was that I included a 0 in my test data.
But I did not understand why I cannot set Details or Legend to use Log. Is there any explanation?
Thanks a lot! Some time ago I played a little bit with R so it should be possible to me to use the script visual. After a short test I think it is more easy to use the R element instead of the build-in scatter chart for me. It is not so easy to figure out what I want but it is more powerful.
