Scatter Chart with 'Text' as X axis

If I have a scatter chart that I want say customer name as the X axis can you do this? It works with a numeric value, but when I switch the expression to a measure that contains Text it gives me a 'No data to display'

I tried an aggregate such as ONLY, MAXSTRING, but no joy.

As the point about scatter plots is continuous axes, and you are looking for discrete x values, you should consider using another chart type.

Maybe a matrix chart would be the solution or a line chart showing dots or circles instead of lines.

Hope this helps

I think it would be rather not possible and you will need a kind of workaround with several objects which adding eachother or are overlapping or similar like suggested here: http://community.qlik.com/message/699205#699205.

But my question is how to show the size of circle?

I want to show the bubble chart.
