Scatter plot - Comparison of values from same column

Hi,

     I am trying to acheive a scatter plot where i should be able to acheive a comparison between two companies. Company values come from the same column. Also i need to show an additional metric of Industry avg. Is this acheivable in Power BI.

 

 

C1 and C2 are company value slices used to compare between any two combinations. Industry avg is a measure which should be shown along with the companies being compared. X and Y axis are built on company visits and Score.

Hi @auppala ,

Still not certain about what did c1 and c2 represent, I understood it as the company value temporarily. 

To show the value and average in the scatter plot chart at the same time, you can create an average line without using measure in Analytics pane:

If you think it not help, could you please share more details about this issue for further discussion?

Hi @v-yingjl 

 

C1 and C2 are company values which have be shown as two different dropdowns which will enable user to select two different companies for comparison in the scatterplot. 

Hi @auppala ,

Could you please consider sharing a sample .pbix file for further discussion? Please remeber to replace the sensitive information in the file.

Hi @v-yingjl , 

Competitor 1 and Competitor 2 are two dropdown filters which can be used to compare between two companies in the scatter plot. Industry Avg and Account are the constant based on the Parent Company selected. 

 

 Please find the sample data file and requirement screenshot below.

Hi @auppala ,

Maybe like this?

The size of circle represents the Avg value, the color of circle represents the competitors.

ok. Thats great, but can we compare the competitor values using two dropdown filters as shown in the screenshot.

 

At any given point in time we should be able to see the parentcompany, Industry average and two selected competitors from the dropdown filters.

Hi @auppala ,

I'm afraid scatter plot chart could not achieve this. If create slicers, the scatter plot chart will also be affected if the slicer has been changed.

Refer these articles about scatter plot chart:

  1. Scatter Chart in Power BI 
  2. Storytelling with Power BI Scatter Chart
