I'm creating a scatterplot of two vars. But there are too many points, so the chart gets full
I have tried to reduce the points size to minimum, then set the bubble size depending on frequency. But even this way I can't get exactly what I need. It would be great to ser TRANSPARENCY of each bubble the same way I set the bubble size (by frequency), but I don't seee any way to do this. Any ideas? Is there a way to use a 'heatmap' instead of an scatterplot?
Thanks!
Hi @Francisco_G_Cal ,
You can try using the sampling algorithm in Power BI to improve how scatter charts represent high-density data.

This option is already activated in my graph, but it gets anyway too dense:
That's why I tried R ggplot. It worked great, but R Script didn't work with field parameters (the other question you kindly answered)

Thanks (for both posts 🙂)
My idea is turn that scatterplot in something similar to density graphs in maps:
Is there something like this?
