When publishing report w/ line chart, dots appear on line chart as if I have "Show Marker" enabled

[A_S00]

I've made a a report in Power BI Desktop that includes a line chart.  It looks like this:

When I publish my report to a workspace and then view it online, it looks like this instead:

This is similar to what I would get if I enabled "Show Marker" in the Shapes dropdown, but that option is not actually enabled:

How can I make my line chart appear without pink polka dots when published (the way it already appears in the desktop client)?  My Power BI desktop client is up to date.  I don't know what else to check.

I was able to resolve this by changing the visualization from a "Line Chart" to a "Line and Stacked Column Chart," then moving both data series into the "Line Values" section (effectively making it just a Line Chart despite the change in visualization).  Once I did that, republishing the report got rid of the dots.

Hat tip to this thread for pointing me toward this solution:  https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Dots-in-line-chart-when-quot-show-markers-quot-are-off/m-p/...

Have you tried deleting the workspace from PowerBI service and uploading it again ?

I am not the owner of the workspace, and there are several other reports housed there that aren't mine, so getting it deleted and recreated would be a big ask.

Is deleting and re-publishing the report worth trying?

Hi @A_S00 !

Please make sure [Show Marker] option is set to [Off] for both line categories. You can check this if [Customize series] option has [Show Marker] option set to [On];

You can try to publish the report in your Personal Workspace, which is specific to each user. See if the show marker behaior still exists after publishing into your Personal Workspace.

Also you can check using different browser if it keeps rendering the markers alongside line.

To test whether this action will fix it... try renaming the report and uploading it to PowerBi service

If you dont see the dots then this will be one of your potential fixes
