I would like to add a second Values field to a line chart that already has an Axis: Date, Legend: Brand, and Values: $ Volume.
The second field would be $ Volume Year Ago and would be presented in the same color as the Brand but with a dashed line.

Required This is a simple feature that already exists in all other data modelling software.

RE: Line Chart with multiple values fields and legends

I need this feature, too. This is quiet simple usage in my company, but I can't find it on power bi.

RE: Line Chart with multiple values fields and legends

I urgently need a line graph that allows me to use two measures or more and also allows me to use a legend for these measures. Excel allow it, but Power BI doesn´t it.

RE: Line Chart with multiple values fields and legends

Something simple like being able to add a constant line based on a given measure I can specify (not only the limited choice existing at the moment in the Analytics tab)

RE: Line Chart with multiple values fields and legends

I'd like to see something like this as well. I build a lot of graphs that compare two different test suites to see how well they overlap each others coverage in testing our storage products. In order to do that, I typically have 4 items on my x-axis that split the tests into read and write tests, then whether the test was random or sequential IO, then the block size and queue depths used by the test. Each line on the chart reflects the MB/second of throughput of the product, and there is one line per test suite, thus enabling me to see the relative coverage of each test suite at a glance.

I cannot get Power BI to do this unless I want to do some drill-down method, which removes the 'at a glance' requirement.
