Constant y-axis value based on field value?
I would like to show the high and low reference values as a line on a line chart along with the actual test value, but I struggling with how to approach the problem. The data table looks like this:
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi MojoGene
There is no option to work with your sample data file because all data is about the same point in time + the values are not equal to the values on the pictures....
in general, you can add constant lines in this way :
After creating a line graph :and then format it.
Maximum line in the same way.These lines are dynamic:
Pbix is attached.

Hi MojoGene
Now your sample has just one test ....if I understand correctly the table that you attached.So I used again my file.
You can create customized constants.
Ob the first step you need to create dimensions for date and lab tests with unique values.These dimensions should be used as slicers and categories on the graph
Then you can create measures for constants :
sum_for_Max = if(SELECTEDVALUE('location_T'[Location],0)=0,"",CALCULATE(max(space_missions[Price]),ALLSELECTED('calendar'[Date])))sum_for_min = if(SELECTEDVALUE('location_T'[Location],0)=0,"",CALCULATE(min(space_missions[Price]),ALLSELECTED('calendar'[Date])))Result :
PBIX is attached

Hi MojoGene
You can work with every time granularity that you want, just create a time dimension table.

You need to work with both date and time dimensions hierarchically:If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly
Hi MojoGene
Glad to help.
According to the problems with the granularity, please post it as a new question, and attach a pbix with the model that you created with enough data (not one day, one lab, etc...) and expected results.

The intent is to show the lab value on a line chart with the high/low range of normal values like this:

Hi and thanks for jumping in. The chart effect I am trying to achieve is shown on the image as mentioned above. The significance of any lab value must be assessed in relation to what is "normal," i.e., the range of expected values. I was thinking that this might be accomplished with dynamic constant lines that change with the lab test.
