Need help: Scatter plot with Dates in X-axis

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I want to create a scatter plot with date in the x-axis. My columns are below.

Order Date >> X-axis

Product  >> Details

Product Category >> Legend

Profit % >> Y-axis

The scatter plot  shows me an error "Remove Details to display x-and y-axis pairs. Altenatively, you can keep Details and set summariation for x-andy-axis".

I want to keep the Product as Details, as I want to show the markers for each Product. I do not know how to summarize the Date column.

Please can anyone help.

@mahoneypat  - Thank you looks great. If you don't mind, please can you share the custom visual you created as a .pbiviz file.

This should be easy with the native scatter chart ... but it isn't.  You need to use a custom visual.  I made a quick one using Charticulator (see attached), but you can make a better one if needed.

The shared link contains no files.  Just an empty folder.
