Scatter Plot - Need Help With Date on X-Axis and Data Summing

I am trying to create a simple scatter plot that will eventually include a large amount of data that I can use to easily spot trends. I would like to display field values for two different and distinct test types (OV / QA) over a period of time. I do not encounter any problems unless field values fall on the same date - then the values sum together. I need these three things to work together: date on X Axis, (non-manipulated) data on Y Axis, two easily distinguishable sets of data without summation.

 

Here are troubleshooting tips I have tried:

  • Try: Put Field Value in Y Axis, Test Date in X Axis, and Test Type in Legend. Result: Delineates between data as needed to spot varying trends, but summarizes all data that occurs on same day.
  • Try: Added an index to the data set and removed "summarize" on Field Values. Result: Does not work with a date in the X Axis. 
  • Try: Separated out the results from the data sets to add in two different types of data on the Y Axis. Result: Can only add one data set to Y Axis.
  • Try: Put Values in Y Axis, Test Date in X Axis, and Index in Legend. Result: Too much data to show all of the results and every dot is a different color - no way to distinguish between two data sets.

Could someone please provide help? I also use slicers to drill down on time frames and Field Name/Table Name. Those seem to work fine. I have attached a sample set of data below.

 

Thank you!

Hi @jecochran ,

If it is convenient, please always show your sample data in text-tabular format in addition to (or instead of)  screen captures. That allows people trying to help to readily copy the data and run a quick test, plus it increases the likelihood of your question being answered. Just use 'Copy table' in Power BI and paste it here. Or, ideally, share the pbix (beware of confidential data).

Best Regards,

Cherry

Thank you @v-piga-msft! I appreciate all of the help I can get. I would like to keep the .pbix file internal if possible, but I have added a copy of the table below.

Hi @jecochran ,

Thanks for your data sample firstly.

By my tests and research, I'm afraid that we cannot achieve your desired output in the bubble chart as it always show the aggregate value.

Normally, the visuals in power bi will show the aggregate value except for table visual.

Best  Regards,

Cherry
