Scatter plot with ability to "lasso" or select multiple points

[Anonymous]

I know there have been previous posts regarding this issue, but I've only seen them reference native power bi charts. Does anyone know of custom visualizations that give you the ability to select and filter the rest of the page by selecting data points within a scatter plot?

Thanks!

Related to this - is there some sort of lasso method that isnt forced to be rectangular? I guess the rectangular approach is using a (less than X,Y greater than X,Y) in the background - but would be much more powerful to be able to select subsets of data on the basis of any shape that can be drawn by a user.

@Anonymous This is now a preview feature and can be used on any visual.  Once you turn on you can use it by clicking CTRL and dragging.

To turn on go to File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> Preview Features

@Anonymous I saw this in a similar thread, the custom visual "Scatter Plot by Akvelon" gives you the lasso capability.  It was very slow for me, especially when expanding to different layers of a hierarchy, so I didn't end up using it.  Maybe it will work better for you.

If anyone has an alternative solution it would be very helpful.

@Anonymous , which custom visual. Usually, you need to check on the description or check with the developer

@amitchandak Thanks for the quick response - I'm sorry, I'm not reffering to a custom visualization, but rather asking if you know if there is a visualization that allows users to select multiple data points in a scatter plot, without using the ctrl button. This is a pretty standard feature in other BI tools.
