Reference Line on x-axis
I have date on my x-axis of a Line chart. I need a vertical reference line on a particular (dynamic) date to see if my trend line crossed that date or not. Thanks.

Hi naitiksoni
To draw the Vertical reference line is currently not possible. You can use bit of trick though. Use Shapes to create a static vertical line and it is not dynamic as explained. See the attached screenshot.

Hi naitiksoni,
A vertical reference line is not available now. To work around this requirement, you can try to use a combination chart.
- Create a "line and stacked column chart"
- Put column [date] into shared axis and put [values] into line values.
- Create a measure that evaluates to the maximum value when Date=specific date(otherwise blank), put this measure into column values.
Measures can be:
Reference line = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Table1[Date] ), IF ( VALUES ( Table1[Date] ) = DATE ( 2016, 3, 1 ), MAXX ( ALL ( Table1[Date] ), MAX ( Table1[Sales] ) ) ) )Thanks,

pschommer, have you figured out how to make that separation column thinner?

My company has moved on from Power BI to Tableau. I don't recall if I figured out how to make the line thinner. It is of little concern to me right now. Best of luck to you.
