Creating a line chart with limit (drawings included***)

[water-guy-5]

Hello,

I have two datasets in this example. Example = Tracks daily employee hours by store to avoid overtime exceedances.

Table1 = a basic template that has the daily hourly limits for a store

Table 2 = contains records for daily hours logged at a store

What I want is for my chart to have a "limit" line. So for store A, the line should be at 521 always. And then the daily records of 216 and 321 (in this example) should be shown.

My Issue is that whenever I use the area chart is Power BI, it sums my columns. So instead of it being 521 for store a (I have a filter going), its around 2000. There is no "Do Not Summarize" option for this chart. When I do a table, I can get exactly what I want, so why can't I do this for the chart??????

Thanks!

Hi @water-guy-5,

You can use:

Limit A = CALCULATE(SUM('Table1'[Employee Hours]), FILTER('Table1', 'Table1'[Store] = "A"))

Then show this value by using a constant line.
