Legend for Bubble Chart

Hi,

 

Is it possible to create a legend for the size of the bubbles in the bubble chart?

I can fake it with creating some dummy data points but an interesting in something that does mess with underlying data table.

Hi Andy,

This may not be what you want, but maybe it will inspire someone to offer a better idea.

To build the legend:

  1. I built a Graph Builder graph with a size role using the same column as the bubble plot.
  2. I shrunk the graph and removed the border and title.
  3. I deleted the Graph Builder title, which removed the Graph Builder Outline box. 

Then I combined windows to create a dashboard. 

If this works for you, please let me know if you need more details steps.

Re: Legend for Bubble Chart

Hi,

Thanks for the idea.

What I am playing with is this where I have created dummy datapoints, red circles, (again not my preferred option) and placed them in line with the Y axis grid. So the one cross at 1 is 1, crossing at 10 = 10,....  I will need to add text in presentation deck to explain.
