Thank you for the idea. Do you know how to add a VERTICAL LINE with unique info? Ideally I'd like to have a table of "events" and be able to plot them on the data as a vertical line with a little "flag" describing the event.&nbsp;Ideas?

Hi&nbsp;ericOnline,
&nbsp;
I'm a little confused about your scenario, what's mean of add events?
&nbsp;
If it is convenient, could you describe your requirement in more details.
&nbsp;
I would appreciate it if you could share your sample data&nbsp;and your desired output so that we could help further on it.
&nbsp;
Best&nbsp; Regards,
Cherry

Hi&nbsp;v-piga-msft,&nbsp;I think&nbsp;ericOnline&nbsp;is talking about adding reference lines to graphs.These lines can be vertical or horizontal depending on the the type of graph.&nbsp;They are quite useful features especially on trend lines where you can easily spot if a specific 'event' has an impact to the metric you are monitoring.&nbsp;Here is an example&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;ericOnline&nbsp;It seems that PowerBI automatically detects where to put the reference line (X or Y axis).&nbsp;There is a workaround which is described here&nbsp;This is also an idea which you can vote here&nbsp;&nbsp;
