Using a Reference Line Dynamically

Reference Line functionality has been enhanced to accept both static values and field values. The ability to accept field values allows a property to be dynamic. The Reference Line can change position dynamically on the graph depending on the value of the field that is assigned to it.

Note: In previous releases, only static values could be entered for Reference Lines.

The image below shows the Reference Line dialog box when the Value option is selected.

The image below shows the Reference Line dialog box when the Field option is selected. If you select the Field option, you will be able to select from the available fields listed in the Field drop-down list.
