Power BI desktop refusing to let me Customize Series

Hi

I have a line graph with primary and secondary values. One is a percentage, one is an amount.

I want the percentage to be a dashed line.

So I go to Shapes in the format tab > customise series > select my ratio line > change Line Style to dashed, and Power BI just changes is back to solid! Does this for both axis, all types of format change.

 

Whaaaaa?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please enable the custom series under the Shape menu, choose the percentage line and change the line style to dashed. It should work.
