Hi FabianB ,

As far as I know, the new version of the scatter chart does change a bit, but this feature has not been abandoned, Depending on the data , might worth creating an index column.

 

 

  • Details: to specify what categorical column the visual represents
  • Legend: to specify which column sub-divides the Details data
  • X-Axis: specify what column represents the horizontal axis
  • Y-Axis: specify what column represents the vertical axis
  • Size: specify the column that represents the marker sizes
  • Play-Axis: specify what column (usually a date column) is responsible for the trend overtime.
  • Tool Tips: add a data field or measure to be included in information displayed when hovering on a mark in the chart.

Hi Anonymous,

 

Thanks again for your help.

Strange thing is that still even after adding index columns to my tables I do not get a "Details" well for my scatter chart. 

The wells I get are "Values", "X Axis", "Y Axis", "Legend", "Size", "Play Axis" and "Tooltips".

 

Could this be caused by you using a different version of Power BI than I use?

I am using Version: 2.112.603.0 64-bit (December 2022).

Is this the same one you are using?
