Add tag to certain points in line chart

[LauraBueno]

hi everyone,

I have created a line chart in power BI that plot the variable 1 over time. I would like to add a tag to specific points in the graph only (i.e. when time t = 200s, t = 300s and t = 400 s) that explains when it's happening at each point in time (i.e. start, mid, finish).

Is there a way to add text to explain certain points/events in a line chart?

I can only doing adding a text box that explains what I need but I would rather have a tag close to the point being plotted if possible.

thanks a lot in advance

best regards

Laura

Can you create new group for the time axis, and set the bin size to 100?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thank you for your message. I'm not sure how taht would work to show the text on each point of interest though?

Also, the points in time where I need to show the tag are not all equally separated by 100 so it could be 200 s, 290 s, 350 s etc.

Thank you,

Best regarrds

Well, you could create a measure that displays the appropriate text at the specific values and add that as a tooltip. Other than that, I think you would need to look at third party visuals.

Hi @Greg_Deckler ,

Thanks for your message. I created the measure to display the Text I need for certain points in time, however I would like to have it visible in the graph at all times vs in only when placing the mouse on it (as a tooltoip). Is there a way to have it displayed as well in the graph?

Thanks again,

Best regards

Yeah, I am trying to figure out something creative for that...
