Visuals won't be showing "Actual Value" even if type=number

Hello everybody, 

For my current project I am fetching my data through an API (I dont know if this could be causing the issue)

I just want to plot a Y value with a name on the X axis.
Even if the Y value is actually number, the plot will only propose sum/average/count etc.

 

I think I've seen lots of unresolved cases for this problem so I'll try my luck.

Is there something I am missing ?

Intead of just having the value for each X element...

 

Thanks a lot, have a good day

Hi @ThoVez 

Thanks for your reply.

That is by design, when you have multiple duplicate values on the x-axis, the line chart will aggregate their corresponding values. As a workaround, you can try the solution shared by  Bapaknyaanak2  who have asked the same question.

I think i've found how to make Power BI shows the actual value, instead of aggregate in line chart. In my case, it's solved by creating a slicer, and i just need to drag the column that I interested in seeing it as an actual value to it. Then, my line chart will show the actual value.

 

In @v-haibl-msft's example, he can make it like that because it only has one value and once the X-axis data appear twice in the column (which is my case), then power bi started to show it as aggregate.

Hi Xiao,

Basically any bar chart won't be displaying the right values.

Thanks for taking care!
