How to make a line chart that shows straight line and dotted lines?

Hello;

 

I am creating a trending chart that shows the schedule of the items worked by our resources. Now my problem is i could not present well the chart by showing where is the plan items and the actuals items. In the attached picture, PICTURE 1 comes from my excel report and PICTURE 2 is in power BI form. I would like to show my report in POWER BI the same on the excel (picture 1). How can we create a sepaarte shape per line in a line graph?

@Anonymous Under "Format" of the visual, you are looking for "Shapes" -> Flip the toggle for "Customize Series" This will provide a drop down of all the values regardless if they are legend or different fields. Then you can choose what type of line to apply.
