Display the real (proportional) size of bubbles

Today the bubble size is automatically readjusted and does not allow to have bubbles too large or too small.

I would like to have the option to disable this and have the area of my bubble to be always proportional to the 'size' value.

Would be really cool if this could be fixed - seems like it's quite a popular request!

RE: Display the real (proportional) size of bubbles

This issue has now existed for nearly 3 years since initially being reported, it seems bizarre that a feature so critical to the accurate functionality of this chart-type doesn't exist, rendering a significant proportion of the charts produced completely useless.

RE: Display the real (proportional) size of bubbles

problem still unsolved, bubble size with proportional to the value are not solved. small data with 1 with same bubble size of 300 as minim bubble size.

I have only 15 locations that vary in their values in the 100ks. The bubbles are still all the same size. The visual is useless if it can't show relative differences in values.

RE: Display the real (proportional) size of bubbles

This would be very useful! I'm trying to compare sales data and it's very hard to see the difference in location as most of the bubbles are the same size...there's a 350,000 difference in 2 points and there don't look too different in size.

RE: Display the real (proportional) size of bubbles

This would be very helpful. Otherwise the visual is very misleading and almost not useful.

However, the 'TreeMap' in Power BI is very good(thanks!) and seems to have found a way
to address the sizing issue.

RE: Display the real (proportional) size of bubbles

Definitely an issue for me, if there is one particularly large size bubble everything else looks relatively the same size even if we are talking about a difference of one being 10% of the other.
