Scatter plot colours

[samdthompson]

Hi, have I gone blind? I am not able to find how to change data colours on the scatter chart. Is it possible?

Cheers

Hi!
To change the colors of the scatter plot's bubbles, you need to change theme color.
So select the plot, go to VIEW (top bar) --> themes, and choose or create a theme with the colors you like.
Hope it helps

Hi @samdthompson ,

You can do the following:

1. Go to Format your visual
2. Expand Markers
3. Expand Color
4. Put the field you want to use as a legend and format it accordingly. 
Note: Make sure not to add any field to your legend section.

Hope this helps

Can I change the colour of markers above a trend line, and below a trend line?

So the ones above the trend line are good and below are bad? Or because it's a trend line I can't create a measure to specify?

Hi 

I am using a bubble scatter plot with many many legends accross many countries.

Because it gets confusing, what I want to do is set the colour of all the bubbles in a specific one (let s say black) and then change 10-15 bubbles of interest to other colours.

How can I do this?

The default colours Powerbi gives me are different for each legend and it will take me hours to make them all black manually. I need to set a default for all of them and then mannually change the ones I want. 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hey @samdthompson,

If you are using the default Scater Plot visual, then it is the first option under the format tab. See below:

Hope this helps,

Yeah, it seems to fall apart since i have the play axis on. Thats super wierd.

Instead of changing the color put the column in legend .

@Baskar I have that but I cant customise the colours if I have a play axis. I guess I just need to put up with the default ones. No doubt in time it will be fixed.

It's been more than a year and I had the same problem, when you animate the scatter chart you can't change colors
