Display Trend Line for 1 Bar Only
I have a clustered column chart with 3 bars. I want to add a trend line to only 1 of the 3 bars. It seems like there is only an option for a combined trend, which I cannot use, or 3 individual trends for each bar. I only want to show the trend on 1 bar. Is this possible? Thanks!

Anonymous not sure what you are trying to achieve? Can you share some examples?
Power BI only seems to add a trend line for each bar as shown in the first chart when turning off Combine Series. Or if I change it and turn on Combine Series it adds 1 trend line for the combination of all 3 bars. I only want to trend one bar, the total submitted as shown in the second chart which I had to recreate in Excel.

Anonymous you can create a combo chart in Power BI and for line use the following measure:
Line = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Value] ), Table[Type] = "Submitted" )Check my latest blog post Comparing Selected Client With Other Top N Clients | PeryTUS I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos to whoever helped to solve your problem.

Anonymous that is to give you an idea of how you can achieve this? I don't know how your data is structured and how tables are related etc. Put something together in a pbix file and share it using one drive/google drive with the expected output.
Sorry, I can't send the data. But it's very simple, it's 1 table with total tickets submitted, total tickets resolved, total tickets remaining open sum by month. I add all 4 fields to the chart and set a trend line. But Power BI doesn't appear to have an option to only allow me to show the trend line for submitted like Excel does. The 2 pics I attached show Power BI with 3 lines and Excel with only 1 which is what I am trying to accomplish in Power BI. Seems simple enough, but I don't see an option to only display the one trend line I want in Power BI.

Anonymous You need to create dummy data and send it with the expected output. Not sure what else to tell or maybe someone else can help.
