Hello,danextian ,thanks for your concern about this issue.

Your answer is excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hi,@Snagalapur .I am glad to help you.

I agree with danextian's suggestion. I have created a simple example which I hope will help you.

You can place a column aggregate value in the Size area to show the difference in size of each bubble.
The size of the column's aggregated value affects the size of each associated bubble.
