Treemap visual with circle shapes instead of rectangles

I would like to know if there is a visual on power BI, very much like the treemap visual,  except with circles as the shape instead of rectangles. The main property of the visual I'm looking for is for each category within the relevant dataset to have its own circle, and the relative size of that circle should scale with a DAX measure of my choice. The data I'm visualising is very basic and one dimensional, so I don't want to give it an x/y axis as is the case with a bubble chart.

Hi @FixMyGauge ,

 

Currently, the standard visuals available in Power BI do not include a 'circle treemap' or 'circular treemap'. The built-in treemap visual in Power BI uses rectangles to represent hierarchically structured data, as you've correctly noted.
According to my investigation,maybe a custom visual object called "Packed Bubble" can meet your needs.
My Sample:

Result is as below.

You can click the ellipsis (...) in the Visualization pane of Power BI Desktop to import custom visual objects.
Please always ensure that the custom visual you choose complies with your organization's policies and data security requirements.
For more you may refer to:

Import Power BI visuals from AppSource or from a file - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
