In Excel line charts, there is a "no line" option to only show markers. This option is not available in PowerBI, Instead, you need to make the line colour white and the marker non white. This worked fine up to yesterday but now the white lines can be seen passing through the markers making them look like an array of pacmen which does not look very good.
Can you introduce a no line option in the PowerBI line visual?
Thanks,

RE: Marker only line charts

This issue presumably arose from a PowerBI update on the day the original post was made. Previously I had no issues using markers with white lines. The resulting pac-man markers means that many of my Power BI charts are unreadable and unusable for client/sales/marketing purposes which means I either revert to Excel (with unacceptable refresh times) or starting testing Tableau.
