Dynamic columns changing according to time intelligence
I have use case where I need double headers such as MTD, YTD and under that I need to have sales,order count, margin and for YTD it shouldn't calculate order count. Any solution for this.
Hi Laxman222
Method 1: A general technique I've used in the past is:
- Create a calculation group ("Measure") for measure selection (to allow measures to be "hidden")
- Create another calculation group ("Measure Visibility") with a calculation item that blanks out certain combinations of measure/time intelligence (in your case "Order Count"/"YTD".
- Apply the calculation item from step 2 as a filter on the visual.
Example PBIX attached for you to take a look.
Here is the DAX script for the Measure and Measure Visibility calculation groups in my example:
------------------------------- -- Calculation Group: 'Measure' ------------------------------- CALCULATIONGROUP 'Measure'[Measure] , Precedence = 1 CALCULATIONITEM "Sales" = [Sales] , FormatString = "#,0" , Ordinal = 0 CALCULATIONITEM "Margin" = [Margin] , FormatString = "#,0.00" , Ordinal = 1 CALCULATIONITEM "Order Count" = [Order Count] , FormatString = "#,0" , Ordinal = 1 ------------------------------------------ -- Calculation Group: 'Measure Visibility' ------------------------------------------ CALCULATIONGROUP 'Measure Visibility'[Measure Visibility] , Precedence = 2 CALCULATIONITEM "Exclude Order Count YTD" = VAR CurrentMeasure = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Measure'[Measure] ) VAR CurrentTimeCalc = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Time Intelligence'[Time Calc] ) VAR Result = IF ( NOT ( CurrentMeasure = "Order Count" && CurrentTimeCalc = "YTD" ), SELECTEDMEASURE () ) RETURN Result , FormatString = SELECTEDMEASUREFORMATSTRING ()Method 2: Another (possibly simpler) method is to use the Hierarchy Slicer custom visual to select the desired combinations of Time Intelligence and Measure calculation items. The Hierarchy Slicer will work if a blank measure is placed on it (or you could use another suitable measure).
Well these are a couple of possible approaches. Would something like these work in your case?
