How to Apply Parameter in Chart

Hi,

I wanted to add a Parameter in a Line Chart. The following Line Chart was created in Power BI Desktop:

It shows month wise "Sales", "Profit" and "Quantity" ( Quantity is shown in secondary Y axis).

Now, user may want to choose "Sales", "Profit" or "Quantity" from a Slicer and view the chart accordingly. For this reason I had created a PARAMETER called "ShowValueForChart" and created a the folloiwng slicer for the same:

the Table named "ShowValueForChart" is as follows:

 

I have also created a measure named Value Selection which captures the current selection from the slicer. Following is the code:

Value Selection = SELECTEDVALUE(ShowValueForChart[ShowValue Fields])
 
However, I am not able to conneect the Slicer to the Chart. Pls let me know what needs to be done to connect the Slicer and the chart so that the user can select "Sales" / "Profit" / "Quantiy" on his own and the chart shows the line graph accordingly. 
 
the Main data table named "Orders" and the snap shot of the same is as follows:
 

 

Pls let me know what needs to be done to get the desired result. 

 

Regards,

Somnath

    Hi somnath6309 ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1) We can create three measures.

    _Order qiantity = SUM('Table'[Order Qiantity])
    _Profit = SUM('Table'[Profit])
    _Sales = SUM('Table'[Sales])

    (2) We can create a field parameter.

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

     

     

     

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
