New scatter charts

The new scatter chart displays data as individual points positioned by two measures — one on the X-axis and one on the Y-axis. Each point represents a single data record, making scatter charts ideal for identifying correlations, clusters, and outliers across two variables.

Scatter chart example

Your search needs at least one attribute and two measures to be represented as a scatter chart.

New features

  • Color slicing support: Apply an attribute as a color dimension to visually distinguish groups of data points within the same chart

  • Faceting support: When an attribute is added to the trellis section, the chart generates small multiples — one scatter plot per attribute value

  • When either of x-axis / y-axis has measures:

    • You can do grouped / dual / multivariate axis configurations

    • When a measure is present in the axis, attributes cannot be added to the axis

  • When either axis has attributes:

    • faceting is supported **

  • Additional display settings:

    • New setting to toggle between solid and hollow marks

    • Marker style allows different shapes to be displayed instead of circular markers

  • Granular tooltip customization to control what information appears when hovering over a data point

Limitations

  • Scatter charts require two measures for the X and Y axes. Additional measures require a dual axis or multivariate configuration.
