Line chart with Legends.Show Data Label only for Current Month

Brijith — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 07:43:25 GMT

I have a Line Chart in Power BI with a legend (e.g., "Actual", "Forecast", etc.).
The X-axis is 'dim_Calendar'[Year Month] (formatted as "yyyy-MMM", not a date hierarchy).
The Y-axis is a measure: Cumulative Count .
The Legend is 'Dates'[Date Category]. ("Actual", "Forecast".)

I want to: Show a vertical line at the current month (e.g., June 2025). Display data labels only at that point (i.e., for June 2025) for all legend series. The X-axis spans from May 2024 to March 2027, and I want this to work dynamically — so that next month, the vertical line and labels shift to July 2025, and so on.

The following image is in the tooltip when I point to May with the mouse. So my requirement is can we show the tooltip permanently for current month

Dear Brijith

You can use below dax and apply in font colour fromat option.

MAX 23 =

VAR GetAllMarket = ALLSELECTED(Query1[MATURITY_DATE].[Day])

VAR GetMaxValue= MAXX(GetAllMarket, CALCULATE([Os in Crs]))

VAR GetMinValue= MINX(GetAllMarket, CALCULATE([Os in Crs]))

RETURN

IF([Os in Crs] = GetMaxValue,"Black",IF([Os in Crs] = GetMinValue,"Red","white")

)

Thanks balakishan, I have the line. But what I want is a data label (like the tool tip that shows the data ) for current month
