Line markers in line chart

Hello. Is it possible to add markers to the values of a line graph like in Excel?

 

  • Hello,

     

    Currently there's no option to add data point markers on a line chart in Power BI Desktop. However we have a wonderful Power BI Ideas forum with a proposed addition for this (LINK). If you vote on it, it'll give it traction and visibility to the Power BI team, and they might then impliment if enough people want it. Hope this helps!

  • Hi Joao, 

     

    yes, it is possible. Make sure that your line chart is set to Categorical instead Continuous

    The markers only work with the Categorical set up

      Yay! As of August 2017 it has been implemented, along with other cool ways to style lines in a line chart.
