Converts a wide Power BI table into a condensed matrix, trims numeric precision, and replaces it with a slope chart mimic built from line series and markers, removing legends and unnecessary axes and putting labels only on end points via a measure. Improves a crowded combo chart by scaling the column max (×1.5) and using a hardcoded secondary axis -2000 to lift the line, and favors gray de-emphasis for comparison over many colored lines.
