Filtering Line Graph

I have a question for line graphs that are built in Power BI.  When I click the legend for a specific item, it highlights that item but instead of the other items disappearing, they just become translucent.  How do I make them disappear to only show the value I'm looking for.  See attached graphic.  If I wanted to only show "1122 ARL CAP%", I can click it, but it doesn't ONLY show me that category.  Thoughts?Screen Shot 2019-08-15 at 5.53.15 PM.png

Hi @Anonymous ,

Nope, legend label can only highlight correspond data labels. (It not support to filter operate)
I'd like to suggest you to add a slicer to do filter operations.

Thank you for your response, @Anonymous .  I am still unsure of the solution.  I have attached another photo to show the fields I have available.  In the graph, each section is separate (ie 1122 ARL, 1122 BAY, etc.).  Since all of these are separate data points I don't know how to add a filter to those.  Screen Shot 2019-08-19 at 9.23.49 AM.png
