Scatter plot alternatives

Hi all, 

I have a report with multiple visuals.
At the moment i am using multiple scatterplots to visualize data.

The scatterplot is ideal for visualizing my data as it bring usefull insight.
However I am not a fan of the amount of scatterplots I am using as it makes the report kinda busy.


So, are there any alternatives to the scatterplots that would provide me with the same insight? 

Please see the image for my report (don't mind how it looks, i have not done a lot of styling yet as this is a first stage test report)

As you could perhaps see I used Conditional formatting in my scatterplots, so for alternatives i would like to still be able to do this (if possible)

Without knowing much about the data store you're trying to tell, it's hard to advise. But is there a third dimension you can add to any? If there is, then a bubble chart would be good

 

What would you like to know about my data so people could advise better?
example for a scatterplot:
 i am showing coverage on the x-axis and the Workforce + retired on the y axis.

For all my scatterplots I am filtering the following:
- I am filtering for year and quartile for date

- I am filtering for different type of fun, i.e what type of fund a fund belongs to

- for conditional formatting I am using a specific fund

 

Hi @raymondvanzon ,

 

How about "scatter chart by Akvelon"?

@v-kelly-msft Thanks for the reply! However I checked it out and i don't think this will give me the insight i want unfortunately

 

@amitchandak Thanks for the reply! There was some usefull insight concerning variation, but it was still all scatter-plot based. I don't think the bubble chart will give me the insight I want unfortunately
