Ignoring a field filter but still wanting to sort on that field...

99_pct — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:25:37 GMT

Hi all,

I've been struggling with this and my knowledge of DAX obviously isn't up to task, so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction....

DESIRED OUTCOME

I want to create a tooltip that shows a graph of time booked (man hours from timelogging data) across months. Here's an example of the tooltip I'd like to see...

CHALLENGE

The challenge I'm having is that on the page that the tooltip should be linked from, has a filter on a specific [Month]. I don't want the month filter to persist through to the tooltip as I want to see all months, but other filters should persist.

DATA STRUCTURE

Here is an indication of the data structure I have (table and field names are correct)...

I've tried various DAX CALCULATE syntax but no luck so far.

Thanks in advance....

Here's a pbix file with sample data and tooltip set up. When I hover over the [Person] name, I want to see all of M01 to M12 in the tooltip graph, not just the month's controlled byt the drop down filter on the page

Thanks lbendlin, perfect.

So for those viewing this post without enough time to download the solution file, the answer was to tweak the data structure (i.e. add a duplicate of the Month table with an inactive relationship) and create a new measure based on the [Hours booked] field that referenced the duplicate Month table relationship.....

Hours = CALCULATE(sum(Manpower[Hours booked]),USERELATIONSHIP('Month list'[Month],Manpower[Month]))
