"Do not summarize" missing
tkaczmarczyk unfortunately, unlike Power Pivot in Excel, the Desktop does not support "Do not summarize" right now. The only way to get rid of those Sum symbols is to mark your columns as text instead of number (so you can have your Year column of data type Text and not Whole Number).
Not elegant by any means but helps in the short run until it gets fixed, hopefully soon...
Hmm. But I do see that the feature in itself exists: https://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/471200-change-the-aggregation-in-a-chart-sum-average-m.
And I arrive at the exact same result when using Power BI Desktop - can't treat numeric fields in any way that's not summarized, rendering a lot of scenarios unavailable (e.g. it's impossible to generate a scatter plot).
That link didn't work, but yes, it exists in Excel and Desktop.
