line chart with secondary y axis and legend

Hi there

is there any plan to add this feature to the standard Line Chart?

Hi @Frankie_Vannini 
No core line/area chart doesn't have all the functionalities as attached.
A comparison chart is available at market place so you can download it from there.

You can suggest adding these functionalities as idea by the link:

Hi there, my answer finally is there after it has been removed from Spam
I've not clearly understood if with the line chart I can obtain something as described above, something that is similar on the result I can obtain using the Comparison Chart Visual (that indeed has other problems)

Hi @Frankie_Vannini ,

Just as @Ritaf1983  says, line chart with secondary y axis and legend has already existed.

We can add Secondary y-axis and Legend. I think you can read this document and the topic for a further study: Create line charts in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn and Solved: Add a secondary Y axis on a line chart with Legend - Microsoft Fabric Community

No it doesn't work if you add a legend using the related field. There are only third party paid solutions, so far

Hi @Frankie_Vannini 
2 Y axes are 2 different measures ...
It just cannot work in any other way logically...

Maybe I am missing something in your request, please show the expected results...

Hi @Ritaf1983, I'm trying to post a replay however the reply is marked as spam and it disappears. I don't understand why!

I already posted an answer but it disappeared ....

Anyway, to make it simple, assume this scenario as per the (dummy) table below where:
X-axis is a calculated column and is a number from -x to 0

Year is the fiscal year, so the 2023 data is actual and the 2024 data is also actual. The forecast number is the 2023 data plus a percentage I get from a RELATED dataset.
I then have one measure of the running total for the actual 2023 and 2024 and another measure of the running total for the forecast.

The aim is to get a graph where on the x-axis I have values from -x down to 0 (depending on the filters enabled on the dashboard), then I have a line with the 2023 data down to 0, a line with the 2024 data down to a certain value, and a line with the Fcast data down to 0. I currently use the value from running tital fcast as a tooltip and it displays the data correctly, but I would like to display it as a line along with the others as the x-axis is common. something like the attached "manual" line chart
I hope this helps to better explain 

Thanks in advance for your help
