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.

Properties

Property	Description	Default
Show Markers	Display data point markers for this series	Off
Shape	Marker shape (see below)	Circle
Marker Size	Size of markers in pixels	5
Marker Color	Color override for markers	Series color

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.
