Two Column Line Graph with labeled markers
Hi GilbertGotfried ,
This can’t be done with native Power BI visuals.
What you’re asking for is a hierarchical line chart
(Employee → Task → Monthly count) with:Dynamic number of employees
Dynamic number of tasks per employee
Numeric Y-axis
Data labels on markers
Power BI doesn’t support this combination.
Why each option fails:
Matrix + Sparklines → no data labels
Small multiples → not truly dynamic, breaks at scale
Standard line chart → no Employee → Task grouping
Recommended solution:
Use a custom visual, preferably Deneb (Vega-Lite).
It supports:Dynamic faceting by Employee
Multiple task lines
Full control over labels and layout
Alternative workaround:
Filter to one employee at a time using a slicer.Try these solutions and let me know if you need further clarification

Another alternative would be SVG which can also give you the data labels back (if you code for it)
