I am fairly a newbie in Power BI, I am just trying to figure out how I can create a scatter graph. I have seen the example on tutorials in YouTube via power BI and the tutorial in https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-tutorial-scatter/ but I have not been able to get anywhere.
The issue I am having with is the way the data is represented at the moment. I am taking it from a database. The header of each column are as follows, Company ID, Audit ID, Risk, Security, Operations, Manage Changes (as per below).
| Company ID | Audit ID | Risk | Security | Operations | Manage Changes |
| 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| 2 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
In a way at the simplest form of the question, I want to create multiple line chart that has the gratings on the y axis and Risk, Security, Operations, Manage Changes on the X axis.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @magtuto,
According to your description, you want to drag multiple columns to the Scatter visual’s X and Y Axis, right?
Based on test, it is impossible to drag multiple columns to Scatter visual’s X and Y Axis, it only support one field in X axis and Y axis. You can drag “Risk, Security, Operations, Manage Changes” columns to Details filed and use drip down/up feature to view the detail graph.
If you want to view these values more clearly, you can use the Clustered column chart, it supports multiple column, screenshots:

Thanks for the reply.
After much procrastination, so that I cant get the desired effect, I broke the data into sections so that I can get a quasi scatter graph.
I agree that because the data is represented in such a way, it was imposible to create the scatter graph I was after.
Hi @magtuto,
Is there anything about Scatter char you not clear? If you have, please feel free to post.
