Hi @hdg 

Is this the result you want ? When you hover over a line graph in power bi ,it will  display the value , the column name and value for X axis .

I have attached my pbix file ,you can refer to it . If it does not match what you said, you can provide the result you want .

Hi thanks so much for your response. This works for one line but not for multiple lines.I added an extra data column in your example. If you hover over a point on ONE line it should only show the name and value of that line and not both the lines. The example below shows both names and both values which can be confusing if you have many lines.

Thanks so much for your help again.
