We should be able to put two values and a legend on the same line chart.

RE: two values and legend on line chart

Is there any sort of workaround until PowerBI adds this feature?

RE: two values and legend on line chart

As everyone else said - this should be a no-brainer feature. In fact, you can already have two values and a legend in the "line and clustered column chart", but for some reason the second value is disabled when using a legend in the "line chart".

RE: two values and legend on line chart

Same as everybody else on here - I can't believe these aren't standard features. It's bonkers a piece of BI software can't do basic charts. Another very basic issue is clustered line and bar chart, when the secondary Y-axis is switched off so the second Y-axis dataset should revert to scale with the primary Y-axis, the secondary Y-axis labels just disappear but it doesn't scale. Plenty of research suggests it's simply not possible without workarounds managing the min/max scale of a secondary axis to force it to match the primary. This functionality is available in Excel so this is really annoying.

RE: two values and legend on line chart

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.

RE: two values and legend on line chart

This is something that should have been added from the start

RE: two values and legend on line chart

Paraphrasing another voter: being able to compare subsets of the total (with legend) against the total should be a no-brainer feature

RE: two values and legend on line chart

This function is essential!Next to my Y-values it must be possible to plot the values/curves for my lower and upper tolerance. Therefore, I must be able to plot at least 3 values while adding a legend! Same problem with the secondary axis - it's not possible to have a legend AND values and the Y-axis AND a secondary Y-axis.

RE: two values and legend on line chart

I also find it hard to believe this isn't a standard functionality in a dedicated reporting tool. Having more than one measure in a chart is essential, otherwise we'll have to revert to Excel or another BI product.
