Scatter Chart Query

I have some data in a scatter chart but where I know two people occupy the same position the chart only gives me a count of one.

The table on the left shows 2 people that have a score of 85.7 on the x-axis and 100 on the y-axis (Person Codes 1680900 and 1686027).  When I put my curser on the relevant marker on the scatter chart I get a Person Code count of only 1 (1686027). However, if I right click on that marker and exclude that person it still shows me a Person Code count of 1 but gives the other person code (1680900).

 

Why doesn't the Tooltip give me a count of 2 Person Codes here?

 

Thanks,

 

DHB

I've got reply from Power BI team - This is by design. Scatter groups by the Details field (and/or the Legend field), it does not group by X/Y pairs.

Thank you for your reply.  It's a shame it can't give that information though.
