Markers

The Markers card controls data point markers displayed on each line. All marker settings support per-series customization through the "Apply settings to" dropdown.

Markers panel — per-series dropdown, shape, size, and color settings

Per-Series Settings​

At the top of the Markers card, a dropdown lets you choose which series to configure:

  • All Series — Sets the default values for all series
  • <Series Name> — Overrides settings for a specific series only

Series without explicit overrides inherit the "All Series" defaults.

Marker Shapes​

Six shapes are available:

  • Circle — Standard round marker
  • Square — Square marker
  • Rounded Square — Square with rounded corners
  • Diamond — Diamond (rotated square)
  • Triangle — Upward-pointing triangle
  • Cross — X-shaped marker

Default Behavior — Series Color Markers​

When you leave Marker Color empty, each marker automatically inherits the color of its series:

Markers with default color — each marker matches its series color

Custom Marker Override​

You can also override the color to apply a uniform marker style across all series — for example, setting all markers to Rounded Square in pink:

Custom marker settings — Rounded Square shape, size 15, pink color

Result — pink rounded square markers on all series, regardless of line color

Compatibility​

The Markers card uses the lineStyles object name internally, matching the standard Power BI Line Chart format. When converting a report from the standard Line Chart to the SDM Smart Line Chart, per-series marker settings (shape, size) are preserved automatically.
