I have the above graph with % on the columns and total number on the line

I want to be able to add a constant line at 95% as a goal line like I can do in a regular column chart

 

can this be done?

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Create a measure as below:

 

Measure = 0.95

 

Make it show as percentage,then go to format>Y axis>show secondary : on, align zeros : on:

hey @v-kelly-msft 

 

that doesn't work, I'm trying to show a % month over month vs a % goal (constanat line or measure) vs the total contact volume in a number format

 

here's some dummy data

here is what I'm looking to make in pbi, this was made in Tableau since I have loads more experience with that tool.  the bars are the total volume, the line is the % capture rate, and the dotted line is the goal

@amitchandak here is the issue, it doesn't work becuase it want's to compare the 95% to the right axis which is in numbers. 95% shown below in the dark blue line.
