Hi,

I cannot understand anything from those screenshots.  Share the download link of the PBI file and show the expected result clearly.

Hi @Mark45 ,

 

The issue is that since you are adding a trending line the month is taken out of context and it's consider for the full period so instead of getting a value per each of the month you get the average for the full period considered in the chartt in this case 95.4%.

Since you are using a line chart add your measure has another line ( you can do it on main axis or secondary axis) and format has a dotted line:

Hi @Mark45 ,

 

How are you getting that value to the chart? is it based on a value for each month? A calculated measure?

 

Can you please share same more insights on how you have your data model and the chart setup.


Regards

Miguel Félix
