Power BI scatterplot custom markers

How can I make a chart like this one in PBI Desktop?

Actually, I figured it out. I created a column with unicode characters for project status. Then built a matrix.

Any particular reason for mentioning "scatterplot"  ?

 

Check out the "conditional formatting - icons"  option for many standard visuals.

No particular reason. I am switching from Tableau and I can easily build that in Tableau and import whatever custom images I want. So, that's what came to mind first. I have seen conditional formatting. What chart would I build for that though if not scatterplot? Project names have to be visualized horizontally.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

By default, Power BI provides a limited set of marker shapes (usually around for scatter charts. These shapes include circles, squares, diamonds, and triangles. Unfortunately, there are no built-in options for importing custom marker shapes directly into Power BI.
