Scatter Chart with Play Axis conditional bubble colors

[WilliamN]

Hi

I have a scatter chart with play axis wherein I'd like to change the color of some of the bubbles depending on whether it's actual vs forecasted data. I've created a workaround as shown below, but it would be much more elegant if both series appeared connected.

Any advice on how I can make this look a bit more elegant?

Thanks

I had to add dummy data, but I believe the concept still stays the same.  I have two series that need to be merged, but the color of the bubble would still need to change when the forecasted data is rendered via the play axis.

Thanks

Hi @WilliamN ,

It has two groups of value if you put "year label" in the visual. So you need a column full with one value, but scatter chart doesn't support conditional formatting. You could post your ideas here, maybe it will be a feature of Power BI in the future.

@v-eachen-msft  Thanks

I suspected conditional formatting would not be feasible for the play axis.
