Fixed line in line graph

Hi peeps

 

I have a link graph which is affected by an array of slicers however I do not want one of the lines to be changed when slicers are changes. My example is in the below. I want the "DPS Average" to not change but the others to change - HELP!

    Hi Anonymous ,

    In your fomula below, you add a extra symbol "{", it caused the error.

    Additonally, you should use the allexcept function, otherwise the fixed line value is the same for each date.

    If the Axis of the line chart is [Date], modify the formula like this:

    Fixed Line =
CALCULATE (
    [DSP Average],
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Unscheduled Leave', 'Unscheduled Leave'[Date] )
)

    Get the correct result in my sample.

    I attach my sample below for your reference.

    Anonymous . Create a line on a measure like 

     

    calculate([Measure], all() )

     

    This will ignore all the filter

        Anonymous , parenthesis after calculate are two, there should be one

         

        calculate([DPS Average], all() )

         

        or

         

        calculate([DPS Average], all('Unscheduled Leave') )

    Unfortunately this still isnt working 😞 I have duplicated the meausre as one measure needs to capture all (with as you mentioned above the parenthesis) and one that is affected by the slicer but it picks up for both

     

    My measure is 

    Average Days Per FTE - rolling 12 Months =
    VAR STARTDATE =
    CALCULATE ( STARTOFMONTH('Unscheduled Leave'[Cal. year / month]) )
    RETURN
    CALCULATE (
    DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Unscheduled Leave'[Actual Days]), SUM ( 'Employee Master'[FTE - Operational] ) ),
    DATESINPERIOD ( 'Report Date'[Date], STARTDATE, -12, MONTH)
    )*12

      Hi Anonymous ，

      Sorry I'm not very clear "one measure needs to capture all" and "one that is affected by the slicer but it picks up for both".

      In your original post, you want the "DPS Average" to not change but the others to change, so when you replace the DPS Average with the Fixed Line, what happend? Does it still change by the slicer?

        So what I mean is that I have three slicers - Division, Branch Section. I have the same formula for two meausres. One i want all Division, Branch section to be fixed and not changed. But my slicers (Division, Branch and Section) change the other measure. Does that make sense?

    Apologies if I was not clear.

    The measure I have above is the one I have duplicated. So Ill have both in the same graph but for one measure I want it to be affected (area) by the slicers and the other I do not want it to be affected. So when I use the Calculate[DPS Average] all()) for one measure it still is affected by the slicers.

      Hi Anonymous ,

      Sorry for the late back. How about using different measures separately, not to duplicate it. One using the original measure and another using the Fixed Line.

        Thanks Kalyj - unfortunately still doesnt work. Not duplicating the measure but duplicating the code for the measure but then creating a measure based on the code you have supplied. 

         

        So to explain I have the main measure of 

        Average Days Per FTE - rolling 12 Months =
        VAR STARTDATE =
            CALCULATE ( STARTOFMONTH('Unscheduled Leave'[Cal. year / month]) )
        RETURN
            CALCULATE (
                DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Unscheduled Leave'[Actual Days]), SUM ( 'Employee Master'[FTE - Operational] ) ),
                DATESINPERIOD ( 'Report Date'[Date], STARTDATE, -12, MONTH)
                )*12
         
        Then I have duplicated this code for DPS Average. But to get DPS average I used your code 
        DPS Average = CALCULATE (
            [DPS Average Days Per FTE - Measure],
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Report Date', 'Report Date'[Date] )
        ). 
         
        Unfortunately any time you change the slicers it changes everything
