Scatter Plot Aggregating X and Y

[Michael1]

Hello Power BI Friends,

I am creating a Scatter Plot where the X-Axis and the Y-Axis are both two whole numbers in related tables.  The details are a key coming from one of the tables.

However, Power BI is forcing me to summarize my X- and Y- axes and therefore, my points are not plotting as they would for a simple scatter plot.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thank you,

Michael

Hi Micheal

You can use R script to get a scatter chart with non aggregated values. The script is simple.

You should create your dataset by dragging the fields into the values area and write the below script.

plot(dataset$SGPScore, dataset$SGPSTARRdg, xlab=”SGP Score”, ylab=”SGPSTARRdg”, xlim=c(0,300), ylim=c(0,300), main=”SGP Score Vs SGPSTARRdg”, pch=2, cex.main=1.5, frame.plot=FALSE, col=”green”)

Hi Bhavesh,

Thank you so much for your reply.  I attempted running this R script, but receive the error below. 

I'd appreciate any assistance with this, as I have very little experience with R.

Hi Bhavesh,

I was able to write my first R Script.  Thank you for your help.

I used: 

plot(dataset$SGPScore, dataset$CurrentSGPSTARRdg, xlab="SGPScore", ylab="CurrentSGPSTARRdg", main="SGP Score Vs CurrentSGPSTARRdg", pch=2, cex.main=1.5, frame.plot=FALSE, col="green")

Is there a way to have this visual interact with others, where I can click on a datapoint and then use thta to filter on a table?

Thanks!

Michael

Scatter plots on Power BI require a measure on each axis - you can't use just columns.  Workarounds are discussed in this thread: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Scatter-plot-summarizing-data/td-p/37229
