Power Bi Scatter Chart - Stratada
How do you show values on a scatter plot in Power BI?
In Power BI, you can show values on a scatter plot by enabling data labels for the individual data points. Data labels display the actual values associated with each data point, making it easier to interpret the scatter plot. Here's how you can show values on a scatter plot in Power BI:
Create or Open a Scatter Chart: Start by creating a Scatter Chart visual or opening an existing one in your Power BI report. Ensure that you've already configured the X-axis and Y-axis for your scatter plot with the respective numerical fields.
Enable Data Labels: To show values on the scatter plot, you need to enable data labels. Here's how:
a. In the "Visualizations" pane on the right side of the Power BI Desktop interface, select the "Format" icon (represented by a paint roller) to open the "Format" options for the Scatter Chart.
b. In the "Format" options, expand the "Data labels" section.
c. Toggle the switch to turn on "Data label" by clicking the switch to the "On" position.
Adjust Data Label Settings (Optional): You can further customize the appearance and behavior of data labels to meet your needs:
You can change the position of the data labels (e.g., "Center," "Inside end," "Outside end") from the "Position" dropdown within the "Data labels" section.
Adjust the text color, font size, and font family using the formatting options available in the "Data labels" section.
View Data Labels on the Scatter Plot: After enabling data labels, you should see the actual values associated with each data point displayed on the scatter plot. These labels will appear next to or on top of each data point, depending on the label position you've chosen.
Customize Additional Settings (Optional): Depending on your preferences and the specific requirements of your report, you can further customize the scatter plot's appearance, including axis labels, titles, and other formatting options.
Save and Publish: Once you've configured and customized your scatter plot with data labels, save your Power BI report and publish it to the Power BI service or share it with others as needed.
Enabling data labels is a helpful way to provide more context and information when working with scatter plots, especially when you want to see the exact numerical values associated with each data point.
