Dimension Control on Scatter Chart with Bubble Colour set by Dimension

[Beginner]

Hi,

I have an issue where Dimension Controls applied to scatter charts, only seem to work when the Bubble Colour is set to "none".

If I set the Bubble Colour to be set by Dimension, the data in the scatter chart dissappears.

Does anyone have the same issue or can anyone else replicate this issue?

Thanks

Hi,
Yes, this is a known limitation in Looker Studio.

When you set Bubble Colour by Dimension, the chart expects that dimension to be fixed, not dynamically filtered by a Dimension Control. As a result, no data appears when the control changes the dimension. But you can try workarounds

• Use a fixed field for bubble color (not controlled by the Dimension Control).

• Or create separate charts for key dimensions, each with color set manually.

Unfortunately, dynamic dimension + color by dimension is not yet fully supported.

Thanks for reading my post and replying.

I think I managed to get around this by not using the built in Dimension Control but by recreating this function using a parameter and calculated field instead. So far looks to be working.
