I have a line chart which looks at quantity over time. I’m trying to add a static line on a specific date to indicate when an event took place - I’ve tried to do this by adding the date into a business calculation but it’s not working. How would I get this to work? ---

Hi Cherice, Welcome to the Community 🎉 Just to clarify, are you attempting to add a vertical static line on a particular date on the x-axis, similar to what’s shown in the image? ![image](https://community.holistics.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/60fcf1b3d2a99151ddc50be75f1e3447756a275f.png) ---
