Scatter plot chart interaction dont zoom in
- 1 year ago
Unfortunately, Power BI does not support "Highlight" interaction for Scatter Plot charts. The only interaction available is filtering, which causes the zoom effect you're seeing.
To achieve the effect you want, you can use a disconnected table for category selection and apply conditional formatting to change the marker colors dynamically. This requires using measures instead of direct table relationships. Here’s how you can do it:
Create a separate category table (not linked to the main data).
Use a measure to detect the selected category.
Apply conditional formatting on the scatter plot markers to highlight only the selected category and grey out the others.
Example :Measure for markers color :
marker color =if(SELECTEDVALUE('filtering'[market_area])=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[market_area]),"Blue","Grey")Example of dynamic measure for a table :
Applying conditional formatting:
