Hi there,
Is there a way to change the color of one data point on a scatter chart? For example, I want the average project cost firmwide to be purple and the other project costs to be blue. I have been able to add an index and use that as filter but sometimes, there are so many data points that it doesn't show up. Is there a way to get that average project cost to always appear? Maybe a measure or some kind of formatting? Thanks for any assistance!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@djoellet , I have used measure-based conditional formatting to color the scatter dot, You can modify that to use a categorical variable if needed
