I have a run chart visual in one of my reports and I've used the "Analytics" feature to generate a trend line, a median line, and a target line.
In Excel you can easily add a legend that indicates what each line is for (see the legend in the bar chart visual), but I can't figure out how to do this in Power BI. I've added screenshots of both Excel and Power BI visuals.
HI @tmitton,
Nope, current power bi visual does not support this.
Perhaps you can manually create a table with all legend types and use it on your visual legend fields, then write a measure with the switch to redirect different values based on the current legend.

@tmitton Not sure if you can do this in Power BI. Maybe you can create your own measures for these lines and then use it in the visual.
