hi, DennisC 

Please upgrade power bi desktop to the latest version and try it again, 

Version: 2.73.5586.1101

from your screenshot we could know that your power bi desktop is an old version.

For example, it works well in my side.

If you still have problem, please share your sample pbix file for us have a test.

 

Regards,

Lin

Hi Lin,

 

I did a PowerBi update and it did not fix the problem. However, I have a workaround where I use a different field instead which solved the issue. Even in your examples, you were using different fields for column series and shared axis. My challenge was when using the same field for both column series and shared series, the line values are no longer visible. The interesting thing is that when I drill down, they line values shows up as dotted values which is mind boggling.

I genuinely still think it's a bug if I am allowed to use the same field in column series and shared series.

 

Thanks,

Dennis
