Turn on Line Markers with Continuous axis

[benmoulam]

Hi All, 

Using the May 2018 version - I'd hoped that the ability to set Line stroke to zero and just show the markers would be a good workaround for effectively creating a scatter chart with a date X-axis.. 

However - it seems you cannot turn on the Line markers with a Continuous X-axis! Why on earth not?! 

A Categorical axis doesn't work for me, as I need to show the distribution of data over time.. i.e. More Data points in the summer months.

Does anyone know how to make this work?

FYI - My Scatter Chart currently works with the workaround posted elsewhere on this forum:

Index in the Details

Measure in the X-Axis: #ChartDate = Value(min('TRANSACTIONS'[CREATED_DATE]))

but then you get datevalue on the x-axis which isn't very intuitive for users (42830 vs 5-Apr-17)

Thanks,

As I know, it seems that we cannot create a scatter chart with a date X-axis directly. The scatter chart only support number values in X-Axis and Y-Axis currently in Power BI.

In addition, you could have a reference of this similar thread which has solved. You may could have a try with another visual line chart.
