How does one setup a single visual that can display various timeframes, versions and values?

Hello Anonymous,
Thanks for your update.To display and dynamically switch three measures (e.g., Sales, $ Variance, % Variance) in a single visual using the hierarchical field parameter approach, you can extend the solution by creating multiple field parameters or enhancing the existing parameter table. Below approach might help you:
- Add rows to the parameter table to include all combinations for the three measures (Sales, $ Variance, % Variance) across Versions (Actual, Forecast, Budget) and Timeframes (MTD, YTD, WTD).
- Create separate field parameters for each measure type (Sales, $ Variance, % Variance). Each parameter table would contain the combinations of Versions and Timeframes for that measure. Link these parameters to the visual (e.g., a matrix with three columns).
- Check each measure's DAX definition accounts for the selected timeframe using time intelligence functions (e.g., TOTALYTD, DATESMTD) and calculates variances correctly (e.g., [Forecast] - [Actual] for $ Variance, ([Forecast] - [Actual]) / [Actual] for % Variance).
This setup will reflect your example (e.g., Market1 showing Sales, $ Variance, % Variance) and allow dynamic switching.
I trust this information proves useful. If it does, kindly “Accept as solution” and give it a 'Kudos' to help others locate it easily.
Thank you.
