    Hi nageshpbi ,

     

    We can set the shape for each line, click "Format" - "Shapes", open "Customize Series", select A, change your setting, then select other column and changes.

     

     

    BTW, pbix as attached.

Anonymous  Thank you very much for quick response. problem is we are not able to get column E as different shape in any of the suggested charts. We want columns E as any other shape like triangle,dot/any shape. This is not working.

Hi nageshpbi 

Some sample data or PBIX file will help to understand better your issue.

Cheers!

      Hi nageshpbi 

      I couldnt find how to make any shapes with line chart. 

      Only different colors.

      You can have a look at Chart Accent, which have a bit more control over the visualisation.

      Cheers!
