    Hey there!

     

    Here are a few solutions for you!

    1. Enable "Include in Tooltip" for Reference Lines

    In Power BI Desktop, Select the Line Chart.
    - Go to Format Pane → Analytics → Reference Lines.
    - For each reference line, ensure "Include in Tooltip" is ON.
    - Re-publish and check in Power BI Service.

     

    2. Check for Differences in Power BI Service Rendering

    Some formatting settings behave differently between Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service.
    - Fix: Try switching the tooltip type:
    - Go to Format Pane → Tooltip.
    - Change "Tooltip Type" to "Report Page" instead of "Default".

    -  Create a custom tooltip page if needed.

     

    Hopefully one of these solutions fixes your problem!

    😁😁
