Line and Legend highlight in Line chart

Hello,

I have created a line chart in Power BI where:

X-Axis: Month-Year (MMM-YYYY)
Y-Axis: Total_Qty
Legend: Product Name

However, the chart appears complicated due to multiple overlapping lines, making it challenging to distinguish between them. While selecting a line highlights it, the corresponding legend does not highlight, further complicating the interpretation.

To improve usability, I am looking for a solution where, upon selecting a line:

1. All other lines and their corresponding legends are hidden.
2. Only the selected line and its legend remain visible.

I have attached a screenshot for your reference. Kindly provide a solution or guidance to achieve this functionality in Power BI.

@SatyamPrajapati One simple workaround is to take slicer and put legend field in it so based on the slicer value that legend value will get highlighted.

Hello @SatyamPrajapati , 

You can use DAX to create a measure that returns values only for the selected product and blanks for others

 

Highlighted Total Qty =
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE('YourTable'[Product Name]) = SELECTEDVALUE('Product Name Slicer'[Product Name]),
SUM('YourTable'[Total Qty]), BLANK())

Replace the Total Qty measure in the Y-axis with the Highlighted Total Qty measure.

Hello @dharmendars007 ,

what column should I use in place of 'Product Name Slicer'[Product Name] as Dax provided by you?

@SatyamPrajapati 

Machinery name Column, I assume that is what you are using in Visual.

Machinery name column already replaced in left side of equal to, so what should i select right side to equal to? Same as left side?
SELECTEDVALUE('YourTable'[Product Name]) = SELECTEDVALUE('Product Name Slicer'[Product Name])

Machinery column selected in place of Yourtable [Product name], what should I select on right side?
