    Hi HANA7B ,

     

    You cannot add dynamic constant lines directly with smal multiples you can however make error bar that can match this.

     

    Try the following steps:

    • Select a column and line chart
    • Create the following measure:
    Constant = 
      SWITCH(TRUE(),
           SELECTEDVALUE( Products[Class]) = "H" && SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[day]) = 20, 1,
           SELECTEDVALUE( Products[Class]) = "L" && SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[day]) = 15, 1,
           SELECTEDVALUE( Products[Class]) = "M" && SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[day]) = 10, 1)
    
    
    Upper = CALCULATE([Total Quantity], REMOVEFILTERS('Calendar'[day]))
    
    Lower = 0

     

    In my case the Product[Class] is the column I'm using on the small multiples and the Total Quantity is the column I'm using in my visual

    • Setup of visual:
      • X-Axis: Day
      • Column Y-Axis: Total Quantity
      • Line Y-Axis: Constant
      • Small Multiples Class
      • Error Bars:
        • By Field
        • Upper Bound: Upper measure
        • Lower Bound Lower measure
        • Relationship to measure: Absolute
        • Bar: on
          • Color selet to you needs
      • Turn of lines so that the marker does no show
      • Turn off values in secondary axis

    Final Result:
