Scatter Plot: Multiple data points at the same place

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Power BI and need help with a problem I've encountered. I have a sharepoint list about Software Use Case Ideas. Every Use Case has a long and short description. My boss wants these use cases categorized on 2 dimensions: Office <-> Business and External <-> Internal. I've assigned values in these categories from -100 to 100 for each Use Case. Problem is: Some UseCases have the same X and Y coordinates. For example:

XYUseCase
-5020UC 1
10030

UC 2

5050UC 3
5050UC 4

I want to visualize this data in a scatter plot. This works very well, but the problem is, that when I hover on a UseCase it only shows me one Use Case, instead of all Use Cases at the same point.

My first idea was that I create a ToolTip/QuickInfo site, that shows me all Use Cases at this spot. Sadly I didn't manage to get the result I wanted.

My second idea was to create a separate column that includes all short descriptions from datapoints at the same point as the point I'm hovering on. Here I didn't really know, how to do such a formula.

 

Can anybody help me with one of these ideas or has a third idea they can show me? Thanks in advance

I was able to find a solution myself. I combined the coordinates in one column like this "X###Y###" and then created a second tabled where I grouped the rows at the same coordinates using this tutorial: https://gorilla.bi/power-query/group-by-to-concatenate-text/

Hello @DataInsights,

thanks for your answer. Sadly this doesn't solve my problem completely, because it adds the Use Cases of all lines.  How do I need to write the filter, that it only adds the Use Cases at the same X and Y coordinates?

@Elias_Gda,

 

Create a measure like this and add it as a tooltip. It displays each UseCase on a separate line.

 

Tooltip Measure =
CONCATENATEX ( Table1, Table1[UseCase] & UNICHAR ( 10 ) )




Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
