I have a dax cacualtion that currenty finds and averages the baseline for events . I am trying to figure out how to create a dynamcic baseline where I can choose what years are included in the baselines. For example, baseline currently gets the years 2022-2024. What I am trying to figure out a way is to either being able to select invidual years or a range of years for the baseline. I am looking for any adivce or gudiance on how to alcompish this.

We want to help you but your description is too vague. Please write it again clearly.

Please DON'T copy & paste your DAX that does not work and expect us to fathom what you want to do. That is a bit crazy. 😀

Please just give a simple non technical functional description of what you want, then let us suggest the solution. Thank you.

Provide example input data as table text (not a screen print) so we can import the data to build a solution for you.

Remove any unneeded columns which may cause confusion.

Rename columns to user friendly names.
Also provide the example desired output, with a clear step-by-step description of calculations the process flow.
Remember not to share private data ... we don't want you to get into trouble. 😧
Take time and care to use the same table and field names in the input, output and description so we can understand your problem and help you.
Try keep it simple and ask one question per ticket.
You will get a quick response if you put time, care and effort into writing clear problem descriptions.

Hi mikess1281 ,

You can refer the following links to get it by creating line chart with analytic line.

Use the Analytics pane in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

DynamicBaseline = CALCULATE( AVERAGE(YourTable[EventValue]), FILTER( YourTable, YourTable[Year] IN VALUES(YearTable[Year]) ) )

Hi mikess1281

To create a dynamic baseline where you can select specific years or a range of years:

Create a Year Selection Table: Use a table (e.g., Yearselection) with a list of years you want to include. You can use Calender() to create this table.
Use Slicers: Add a slicer to your report for year selection based on the Yearselection table.
Dynamic DAX Measure: Modify your DAX calculation to filter the events by the selected years:

DynamicBaseline = VAR SelectedYears = VALUES(YearSelection[Year]) RETURN AVERAGEX ( FILTER ( 'EventData', YEAR('EventData'[EventDate]) IN SelectedYears ), 'EventData'[BaselineValue] )

Range Selection (Optional): If you want to allow a year range, use two slicers (start year and end year) and adjust the DAX to filter by the selected range.
This allows you to dynamically change the baseline based on the years selected in the slicer.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution, this will help others!
If my response(s) assisted you in any way, don't forget to drop me a "Kudos" 🙂
