Scatter chart visual missing the "Details" field

Hi everyone,

 

I notice in many online videos as well as in the Microsoft help page on scatter charts that a Details field is available. By default however I can only see the "Values" field. 

 

Does anyone know if the Details field has been deprecated?

Hi, @imranamikhan ;

 

As far as I know, the new version of the scatter chart does change a bit, but this feature has not been abandoned, Depending on the data , might worth creating an index column.

  • Details: to specify what categorical column the visual represents
  • Legend: to specify which column sub-divides the Details data
  • X-Axis: specify what column represents the horizontal axis
  • Y-Axis: specify what column represents the vertical axis
  • Size: specify the column that represents the marker sizes
  • Play-Axis: specify what column (usually a date column) is responsible for the trend overtime.
  • Tool Tips: add a data field or measure to be included in information displayed when hovering on a mark in the chart.
