In Power bi desktop, create a line chart showing the trend with a date column as the x axis. 

 

Right click on the point where sales declines

select “explain the decrease”

Hi @MattAllington,

 

I have three options right click on the point those are "Show Data","Include" and "Exclude". Why “explain the decrease/increase” option may not appear?

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi @MattAllington,

 

It is explained nicely but I want why my sales were gone down. Which factors affect for this what I have to do.
