Scatter Plot Chart Help

EXAMPLES.PNG

 

Hi guys, I am trying to recreate this example in power bi in a scatter plot chart.  I have my 2 values for x and y ranked across all my customers but when I include customer name or customer numbers (distinct values) within the details segment of the visual I either get an error message or have only one value displayed which I assume represents an average.  Any ideas how to recreate this?

Hi @cdawidow ,

Based on my test, if you choose the aggreation type as 'Don't summarize' for x-axis and y-axis and put field in Legend or Details, you may get a error message like this:

If so, try to change the aggreation type into Sum to show it in the Scatter plot chart.

@cdawidow , Please create a color measure like this and use this with option "field" in conditional formatting

 

here Margin % is like you NPS

Color Dot =
var _avgDisc = CALCULATE([Discount %],ALL(Retail))
var _avgMargin = CALCULATE([Margin %],ALL(Retail))
return switch(TRUE(),
[Margin %]>_avgMargin && [Discount %] <_avgDisc , "Green",
[Margin %]>_avgMargin && [Discount %] >_avgDisc , "Blue",
[Margin %]<_avgMargin && [Discount %] <_avgDisc , "Yellow",
[Margin %]<_avgMargin && [Discount %] >_avgDisc , "Red", "Black")

Hi @cdawidow ,

 

Try moving your Customer Name to LEGEND section rather than Details section.

 

Thanks,
