[arvindyadav]

Hi Team,

I need help regarding why questions in Power BI.

Suppose I have data on sales and somehow I lose sales in this month So I want to know why I am getting the loss?

So how can I predict that why my sales loss.

In Power bi desktop, create a line chart showing the trend with a date column as the x axis. 

Right click on the point where sales declines

select “explain the decrease”

Hi @MattAllington,

I have three options right click on the point those are "Show Data","Include" and "Exclude". Why “explain the decrease/increase” option may not appear?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @MattAllington,

I have just three options right click on the point those are "Show Data","Include" and "Exclude" in line chart. Why  “explain the decrease/increase” option may not appear?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @MattAllington,

It is explained nicely but I want why my sales were gone down. Which factors affect for this what I have to do.
