How to Build a Scatterplot in Power BI

Looking to learn how to create a scatter plot in Power BI? In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to build a scatter plot in Power BI using the example of displaying dots for categories in regions, based on the sum of profit and sum of sales.

To get started, simply click on the scatter plot option and bring in two measures - sales and profit. Initially, you'll see only one dot, but you can make it bigger and split it up by bringing region onto the legend. This will give you four dots, one for each region.


You can also size the dots by adding another measure, such as sales, to the size field. The larger the dot, the higher the sales.

To further refine the scatter plot, add more dimensions like category to the value shelf. The more dimensions you add, the more dots you'll get. And if you add product under category, you'll see even more dots based on all the available products in your data.

With these simple steps, you'll be able to create a customized scatter plot in Power BI for your data analysis needs.


How do you build a scatter plot in power bi in this example I have sum of profit and sum of sales and I'm showing dots for categories in regions let's take a look at how to build that in power bi first click on the scatter plot option and we're going to bring two measures in this case I'm going to bring in sales and profit.
