Power KPI Matrix comparing measure against reference percentage based on date

Compare.png

 

I'm trying to compare these two percentages(one is a measure dividing to values, second is a reference table with targets per month) in the KPI Matrix, but my second data set ends up being a sum value of my entire table over being by date based percentages, so I end up with just a single value  to campare the entire dataset to.

Is this possible or is there a better way to go about this. 

 

Thanks

Looks like you can change the datatype to text and it appears to work. I know there's an implicit converision happening, but at least it works. Seems like there has to be another way to make this work.

It seems you just need to to fill the Second Comparison Value and turn on the Second Sparkline via Sparkline settings.

I was having an issue with value being summed up when I did that. After I changed my target value column to a text I was able to compare against it.
