Send Point Forward in Scatter Plot

Hi Everyone! I'm wondering if it is possible to filter a specific data point in a scatter and to put it forward the others, so it is visible. 

 

To explain it better, I've followed the solution in the next link:

I got a scatter plot:

 

when I filter one of the data points I get:

This is happening because I added two measures (one that affects the size and the other one that affects the conditional formating of colours of the dots). How can I do to send forward the selected data point (avoid overlapping of points)?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I think this display effect is designed so that you can view the selected bubbles and avoid affecting the display of other bubbles.

If you want a custom display effect, you could post your ideas here to improve Power BI.
