    Hi Anonymous ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum

     

     

    The issue was that the Crime values weren't showing in the visual because they weren't aggregated properly.


    In Power BI, when using bar or line charts, we must summarize numeric columns like Crime using Sum, Average, or similar aggregations.

     

    “Don’t summarize” works only in visuals like tables or cards. To fix it, I dragged State to the X-axis and Crime to the Y-axis, then selected Sum as the aggregation. Now the line chart renders correctly by showing the sum of crime incidents per state.
