Hi,
I have been trying to build an event calendar by using this tutorial I found:
https://prathy.com/2018/05/adding-a-vertical-line-or-marker-to-a-chart-in-power-bi/
I took Fig1 from the tutorial. As you can see she has available an option that I don't have (in Fig2): Customize Series. Without that option I'm not able to change the style of my columns which I'll use to display my events.
My PBI is from April 2019
Could anyone give me a hand? or otherwise please advise for a different solution to implement this.
Many thanks!

Hi @Anonymous
You may drag them to line values.Then you could see the 'Customize Series'.
Regards,
Thanks for the reply. However, the work around doesn't work for me as the tooltip only shows for columns hence there no way for me to prompt the name of the event.
Why I don't see the same options as the tutorial I sent on that link? do I need change the configuration on my PBI desktop?
Thanks again
Hi @Anonymous
Power BI Desktop will update every month.It seems the feature is not existed now.
