Scatter Plot with date axis

Hii everyone!

 

I'm trying to make an scatter plot with the number of the day of the month vs the number of sales transactions.

This is my dimdates chart:

And the number of transactions measure:

Total Transcactions = DISTINCTCOUNT(Sales[GF_Sales_Num])
 

I read some similar posts and i learned that Power BI plots your data against 2 measures and that is no way for a scatter chart to use an attribute like "date", but  maybe you can come up with something!

 

Hoipe you can help

Tksss

@auxilio99357 , on axis can be categorical (like date) , but you need details column is scatter plot.

 

Example of categorical axis
