Creating symbols at specific data points in a line chart

Hi all,

I have a line chart that has 2 dimensions and 1 expression. If I add an additional expression, the graph changes completely. One of the lines has two spikes, where I want to add a symbol to describe what they represent.

If I add an additional expression, the graph changes, so that won't work. Is there any other way to do it? This should be a simple operation but I'm not finding a solution for that.

Thanks!

Andrew

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but perhaps this example may help:

I think it would help if you could become more specific Andrew...

After a second though, my answer would be that you can create Reference Lines for these spikes (Presentation tab) by using the aggr() function, which, if you apply some set analysis, can give you a way to describe your points in both lines.

Thanks, Agis, that's almost what I need.

I need an specific data point (x and y coordinates) instead of a line (just y coordinate). I just need to mark it in my chart adding some text to describe it (pop up tooltip, legend, text, etc). Possible?

Here is my chart, the data point would be in the tip of the red line.
