Creating a measure that will perform as a limit

Greetings,

 

I would like to create a limit line on my line chart. Currently I place line object (example below). I need this to be a parameter that I set a start and stop value (x axis) and an amplitude value (y axis). Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. That is half of it.

Is there a way to restrict the range so that it isn't across the entire view?

How do I access this, please?

Hi, @RoscoP 

Please correct me if I wrongly understand your question.

 

- You can draw a line in a linechart by creating a measure, something like,    Linemeasure = 10

- If you want to only show the data lower than the line, and within the line range, I think there is a way to limit the data by adding filters in a measure.

 

If it is OK with you, please share your sample pbix file, then I can try to come up with more accurate measures.d

 

Thank you.

Hello Jihwan,

 

I did not explain well. I want to create the line from entering a start and stop value for X, line value @ Y value. I input those parameters [into a table?], which create the line on the chart. I want to have a field to show on plot instead of drawing a line.
