Scatter with straight lines and markers (excel) in PowerBI?

scatterchart.jpg

Going a bit crazy here... subject line says it all. Is it not possible to achieve this type of chart in PowerBI?

Specifically then it is the lines I am not finding how to incorporate in the scatter chart.

 

Use case is for example having y/y sales % on one axis and profit margin % on the other and each dot representing a certain time period. 

 

Animation is nice but I want to see the whole history represented by dots connected by a line. Perhaps a moving dot following the lines from start month to end month in my chart would be an additional "Dashboard" feature.

 

Thanks

Thank you Allan, I added it as a topic at the Ideas Forum! I also added the example of the chart in this post and linked it in the forum. The THe line chart uncomfortably does not allow me to have a separate x-axis like the chart I published. At least I haven't found a way to use the line chart in a similar way.

Best regards

Thank you Allan, I added it as a topic in the Ideas Forum! I also added the example of the chart in this post and linked it in the forum. THe line chart uncomfortably does not allow me to have independent x-axis like the chart I published. At least I haven't found a way to use the line chart in a similar way.

Thank you Allan, I have added it as a topic in the Idea Forum! I also added the chart example in this post and linked to it in the forum. THe line chart unfortunatly does not let me have independent x axis like the chart I posted. At least I haven't found a way to use the line chart in a similar way.

Hi. @henrikgronwall 

 

It is unsupported to achieve this with scatter chart in Power BI currently. You may try line chart like below.

I'd like to suggest you post a new idea in Idea Forum and add your comments there to improve Power BI for making this feature coming sooner.

 

Best Regards

Allan
