Horizontal reference line (not fixed)

Hey community,

 

in a bubble chart i am showing the margins of our articels and want to set a reference line for the minimum margin for pointing out which articles are not profitable at the moment.

 

I know the analytics pane, but fixed values are not helpful. We have different product groups with each different minimum margins. At the end i want to be able to select a product group and see the margin of all articles which belong to the product group in reference to the minimum margin line.

 

Do you have any idea how to manage this? As an example the table below:

 

GroupPlayerSalaryReference Value
Real MadridA200400
Real MadridB500400
Real MadridC300400
BarcelonaD200200
BarcelonaE500200
BarcelonaF200200
Manchester UnitedG100300
Manchester UnitedH600300
Manchester UnitedI100300
Bayern MünchenJ200500
Bayern MünchenK300500
Bayern MünchenL400500


Best regards!

No good way since you can't put a measure in for a "Constant line". One thing that you could potentially do is to put a line graph behind your visual and tweak your opacity settings for your other visual to essentially have the line show through to your chart.
