Possible to only fill point in Scatter chart with selected value?

Hi, 

I have a scatter with lots of data points (many of which are overlapping).  I am setting Fill Point Off, and using the following measure to highlight the selected data point to RED in order to see through the overlapped data.  

 

ScatterHighlight = if(SELECTEDVALUE(Dim_CompanyName[company]) = selectedvalue(datatable[company]), "Red")
 
Is there a way to set the FIll Point ON for only selected value?  Tried searching in community and have not seen anything.
 
Thank you

Hi @ccjj 

 

Download example PBIX file

 

If you use RGBA color values you can set the A (Alpha or opacity) to make data points transparent or opaque.

 

Something like this, which makes the red point opaque and all other points partially transparent.

 

CF = IF( MIN('Table'[Y]) = 2.6, "RGBA(255,0,0,1)" ,  "RGBA(0,255,0,0.2)")
