line chart with multiple values in legend limitations

Question

I am trying to plot more than 10 values in a single legend in a line chart. But am able to see only 10 values.

for example: if i have 15 products, and i am showing sale of those products across the year, using line chart. Able to plot all the products in the chart but the legend is showing only 10 values.

Is this a limitation or do we need to change some settings.

Let me clarify.&nbsp;The legends are visible as mentioned by you, but when we hover over the line chart for a single value on x-axis, there we could see only 10 values at a time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a way to customise that visibility.

Hi&nbsp;&nbsp;Is "additional tooltip values" development still in progress!!! I am having&nbsp;May 2021(2.93.981.0) version and even here I can't show more than 10 legends.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also in another blog I read that Power BI don't have the option to show related data only for the hovered over legend. Instead it is showing all the legend values belonging to that particular date.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am very much intersted to upskill myself in Power BI for past 2 years.&nbsp; Frequently I try to do some POC and whenever I see few important feature that is not available ( which is available in all other BI tools in market) I get upset and stop continuing the POC.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I have also hit the 10 row limit (we have 12 cylinder engines).&nbsp; Is there a place to vote to up this limit?&nbsp; Maybe turn off tool tips and the limit goes away?

Hi&nbsp;Vipul,
&nbsp;
I can't reproduce your issue, it can shows more than 10 legends.

&nbsp;
Current line chart not contains the limitation about legend, but if your table contains too much records, it may shows '!' at left top corner and told you too much data.

Based on test and the feedback form team, It seems like tooltips have limitation about display amount.
"Unfortunately By Design right now, we only show 10 rows of data. If you have additional tooltip values, this causes you to hit the 10 row limit with only a few series (as shown in this example).We have a Scenario planned to introduce a "Tooltip Formatting" property card that will include this and other tooltip options, hopefully in the next 6 months it will be prioritized and completed."
&nbsp;
For your requirement, &nbsp;I'd like to suggest you share this to ideas forum to help improve the line visual.
