Scatter chart issue - adding 'Values' gives an error message

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a scatter chart with the total due on X Axis against the Profit on Y Axis. but as soon as I add salesIDs or Month & Year in the 'Values' field, it will give me an error message.  I have created scatter charts before without any problems. Are there any issus with my desktop version (April 2022)? Or just issues with me?

Adding Year & Month from the Dates table which has a relationship with the Sales table where the TotalDue and Profit are in.

My appology - I rewatched the video. I added SUM measures for both X and Y. After that the Values field accepted 'Year Month'.
