Hello @AAbufarwa,

 

  1. Select the scatter chart and in the "Visualizations" pane, go to the "Analytics" section.
  2. Expand the "Trend lines" section and select "Add" to add a trend line to the scatter chart.

Since on object interaction the option for a Trend line has disappeared.  Not only from the new Reference Line options but also from the old (with on object preview turned off) Analysis sub-pane

Pity - I hope I don't need to write DAX if I can find a way to draw a line on top
Excel has it!!

Hello @Sahir_Maharaj , I have checked your solution because I have the same question as @AAbufarwa .


However your solution is not accurate because you proposed a "Trend line" that is very different as our request.

I'll try to explain in my words and with examples the question:

1. I have the following dataset in Excel:

2. There is the scatter plot for the dataset (in excel):

3. I have the option to change the visual by a "scatter plot with straight lines" (in excel)

4. In Power BI, with the same dataset I created a scatter plot:

6. But there are no options to "join" all the points with a straight line in Power BI scatter plot.

7. Your solution of "Trend Line" looks like this:

8. @AAbufarwa  and me need to "join" the points of the scatter plot with a straight line as Excel does.

Do you have any idea on how to achieve this?

Thanks and regards,
