Line graph with different interpolation type for each Series in Service

[lf2606]

Since a couple weeks ago, I've been unable to change the interpolation type for each individual series within a line graph, now the option appears greyed out: 

I used to be able to combine interpolation types (step and smooth) for different series.

I've found solutions for the Desktop version that involve editing the code of a .pbip, however, that doesn't help me since I need to be abel to do it in Service.

Could someone please help me figure out how to solve this? 

Thank you

Hi  @lf2606， 

We plan to allow per-series customizations if the line-chart is not a stacked chart, both on desktop and web in a feature update.

Thank you for your patience while we work on this fix.

Best regards,

Joyce

Hello, I understand it was a previous feature that I could use with no issue? Was that removed?

Hi @lf2606 ,

Yes, when these series are displayed together, it can be challenging for users to distinguish between different trends because the steps may extend to the left or right of the points inconsistently.

Previously, this behaviour was considered wrong, and now we have fixed it.

Although we have reasons for limiting this behavior, we will update this so that users can still create this behaviour.

Best regards,

Joyce

Thanks for taking the time to reply; do you know of any alternative I could use to reach the desired goal? (Even if using 3rd party tools or something)

Hi  @lf2606,

Try the Power KPI visual by clicking "Get More Visuals": 

Using this visual ,we can set different interpolation type for each Series:

Hi @lf2606 , hello GilbertQ, thank you for your prompt reply!

I could reproduce your issue on my end.

This issue has been submitted internally.

Please be patient to wait for fixing. If there is any news, I will update it here.

Hi @lf2606 

What happens if you remove the option for show for this series to off? Do you then get the option to change the individual line types?

[lf2606]

Hi Gilbert, thanks for taking the time to answer; I've tried turning it off for all series and for individual series and the option for individual lines remains greyed out.

Hi @lf2606 

Could you try and download the latest version of power BI  desktop and see if that works?
