Scatter Plot by Extraction in Power BI
Hi Community, I try to do this visual in Power BI but can not find ways. I want to do scater plot by Extraction_ID where each dot represent each Extraction_ID and If Extraction_ID has waiting_time > 10 then color on that dot. My problem is, I can't find way to by Extraction_ID and color it with contional formatting on scatter plot.
My data looklike:
Extraction_ID | Date | Hour | Mins | Secs | Waiting_Time
00001 1-Jan-25 0 2 0 5
00002 1-Jan-25 0 5 5 10
00003 1-Jan-25 1 1 20 50
00004 1-Jan-25 1 1 30 0
00005 1-Jan-25 2 1 5 15
I knew that it was not possible to set date and time on the X-axis of a scatter plot, so I set numbers representing date and time on the X-axis.
This is not possible with a scatter plot, but I think it would be possible with a Line chart, so please see the explanation below.(^^)/Step 0: I use these data below.
Step 1: I add 'Year' column , 'Month' column, 'Day' column and 'DateTime' column in Power Query Editor.
Step 2: I make a Line chart.
For your reference.

Unfortunately, I can't attach files to comment due to company policy. If you can copy data from the post it would be good. I copy from real data. Thank you anyway.

Step 0: I use this DATA below.
Step 1: I duplicate 'Date'-column and change type of this colum in Power Query Editor.
Step 2: I rename the duplicate column. ('Date - Copy' --> 'Date-Num')
Step 3: I add a 'Date-Time'-custom column below.
Step 4: I change type of 'Date-Time' column.
Step 5: I make a scatter chart below.

Thank you for helping but, This is almost what I want. I want X-Axis as date. But the X-Axis can't be right? I want to see each waiting_time of Extraction_ID in each date/time.

Hi Mokegubshook ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.I would also take a moment to thank mickey64 , for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.
Can you confirm if your current X-axis is just using the Date column? Or are you already trying a combined Date/Time column?
