Hi @jishnubhattacha ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
To recreate the Path shelf behavior from Tableau in Power BI, the main idea is to replace Tableau's path control with a clear sequence column in your data, since Power BI connects line points based on how the axis is sorted rather than a separate Path setting like in Tableau. First, figure out what the Path field represents in your report, it might be time progression, process steps, ranking, or stages in a journey. Then make sure you have a numeric 'Path Order' column that defines the exact order those points should follow, if that order starts over for each group (like each customer or product), you can create it using a DAX ranking calculation. Use this order field on the X-axis of a Line chart, your measure on the Y-axis, and a Legend if you have multiple paths. Finally, apply Sort by Column so your stage or category follows the numeric sequence. Once that sorting is in place, Power BI will connect the dots in the same progression Tableau’s Path shelf was controlling.
