Why Analyze feature is not working in Line Chart?

Hi, why the Analyze feature is not showing up when I Right-click on a data point? How to enable the Analyze feature?

Hi @PBI_newuser ,

This feature is in preview, and is subject to change. The insight feature is enabled and on by default (you don't need to check a Preview box to enable it).

Please have a check.

 

 

The Analyze feature isn't available for all visual types.

The following list is the collection of currently unsupported scenarios for the Analyze feature (Explain the increase, Explain the decrease, Find where the distribution is different):

  • TopN filters
  • Include or exclude filters.
  • Measure filters
  • Non-numeric measures
  • Use of "Show value as."
  • Filtered measures. Filtered measures are visual level calculations with a specific filter applied (for example, Total Sales for France) and are used on some of the visuals created by the insights feature.
  • Categorical columns on X-axis unless it defines a sort by column that is scalar. If using a hierarchy, then every column in the active hierarchy has to match this condition.
  • RLS or OLS enabled data models

Please open my pbix file and have a try.

 

If it still does not help, please provide your pbix file without privacy information for us testing.
