    I got this one figured out!

    I created these 3 measures:

     

    Total = CALCULATE( SUM ( 'Sheet1'[StoryPoints] ) , ALL ( 'Sheet1'[AreaLevel] ) )
    Selected = CALCULATE(SUM ( 'Sheet1'[StoryPoints] ) , ALLSELECTED ( 'Sheet1'[AreaLevel] ) )
    NotSelected = CALCULATE( [Total] - [Selected] )
     
    Then, I put the Selected and NotSelected measures in the pie chart Values. Voila! I still have a little formatting to do, but this is working great!

Hey Anonymous ,

 

I'm wonderin if you are talking about something like this, I know you were asking about DAX, just to make sure that I understand "the output" you are looking for:

If so, pleae provide some sample data that allows to create the DAX.

 

Regards,
Tom

    Hey TomMartens , that's so close to what I was thinking. I was thinking DAX would be needed because in my perfect world the pie would show the percentage of, say "Computers" from your screenshot as dark blue and then, the rest of the pie would be grey for all others. The reason for wanting that is because the user is only interested in seeing how much of the total is "Computers" (again, just from your example) versus all other categories. It wouldn't be necessary to see all the slices of all the categories. I also think DAX would be helpful for a title on the tooltip to display the category being hovered over.

     

    I have an Excel file with a small set of aggregated data. Can I send that to you? I don't see an option to add an attachment here so I'm including screenshots of the data and two charts. One horizontal bar chart for the Main Chart and a Tooltip Chart for what I'm thinking about. The Tooltip Chart is what you would see if you hovered over "Operations" from the Main chart.

     

     

    Thanks for any guidance here!
