Putting a measure on x axis

Hello, I have to create a chart like the one on in the picture below where on the Y axis I need to see bidPriceAmount and on the X axis the cumulativeBidQtyByPriceAmount.

The cumulativeBidQtyByPriceAmount is accumulated bidQty per bidPriceAmount (first is highest bidPriceAmount where the cumulativeBidQtyByPriceAmount is equal as the bidQty).

I managed to create the below. I created the measure for running totals which is working nicely with the slicer for Delivery Day.

The chart created is nice but I need to switch the axis somehow because I need to show the cumulativeBidQtyByPriceAmount in a stepped line chart on the X axis (and the BidPriceAmount on Y axis) which PowerBI won't let me to do because it is a measure. 

Is there perhaps a way to switch the axis or do anything else to get to the intended result as shown in the first picture?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much

Hi @puchrova ,

 

Measure cannot be used as x-axis.

DAX measure are based on row context so any given value from slicers, filters, interactions with other visualizations  and so on can influence your result.

@puchrova , for that you have to use scatter visual or bucket the X-axis measure
