So I have two datasets (Red and Teal) in a scatterplot. The red dataset has a lot more data points and it's obscuring the Teal points. Is there any way to move the teal points to the front so they are visible in the scatterplot?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @Anonymous
the ordering is determined by the ordering of the values used as legend, by default this ordering is alphabetically.
So you might consider to provide an ordering of the values by a different column.
This article provides some general information about ordering:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-sort-by-column
and this article provides a more general explanation:
This screenshot shows the default ordering:
As Asscessories is the 1st "dataset" it will be overwritten by "Components".
The next screenshot shows how the ordering of the column values of the column "EnglishProductCategoryName" has changed and how this affects the "drawing" of the "datasets":
According to this setting:
Accessories becomes the last "dataset".
Hopefully this provides what you are looking for.

Tom
