I have data source with unsummarized values. I have no need to summarize this data. I want to do a line plot of the unsummarized values.
Is this possible in Power BI?
Power BI assumes that I want to aggregate everything. This makes no sense to me.
Solved! Go to Solution.
This is a solution. It's unfortunate that you have to add a column MAX([Reading],0) to get a line plot to work. (Since my reading is a logarithmic scale, this will work).
I don't typically start by applying aggregates. Aggregates have a tendency to obfuscate the very signals that you may be looking for.
It will not do anything to X but will automatically summarize the points of Y, whose interest is to show them all.
If you have unique y-values for each x-value, then summarization (MIN/MAX/SUM/AVERAGE) doesn't really do anything to your data and it should plot fine. If you have multiple y-values for each x-value, then that can't be a single line anyway.
