    Hi, Anonymous 

    If you do not want to show a spike , in my thought , we can compre this value before it  and then we can create a measure based on the [Actual Value] measure:

    Measure = var _cur_date = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
var _preDate = MAXX(FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Table')  , 'Table'[Date]< _cur_date && 'Table'[Attribute] = "Actual Completion Date") ,[Date])
var _prevalue = CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Baseline Burndown]) , 'Table'[Attribute]="Actual Completion Date" , 'Calendar'[Date] = _preDate)
return
IF([Actual Value]=BLANK(), BLANK() ,IF(ABS( [Actual Value]-_prevalue)>2 ,BLANK() , [Actual Value]))

     

    Then we can put this measure on the viusal and we can hide this spike in it :

Hi v-yueyunzh-msft ,

 

Thank you, this is very close to what i require and inspiring me to look at different ways but there is an issue that I wish to overcome which is well illustrated in your example where there is a spike caused by early closure of a record (1st June). I would like the chart to burn down incrementally such that on this date only a burndown of -1 is achived. This drove me (unsuccessfully) to using COUNT and disregarding the 'Baseline Burndown' field. How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks

Hi , Anonymous 

Thanks for your quick response! Sure , in 2023/6/1 the value is "9" but in 2023/6/2 the value is "14" so it will be a spike due to the data will not deceit us.

For that , i do not fully understand the " I would like the chart to burn down incrementally such that on this date only a burndown of -1 is achived. This drove me (unsuccessfully) to using COUNT and disregarding the 'Baseline Burndown' field".
In my thought , you do not want to create a spike  in your chart , you want to the line will decrease slowly , just like each date will minus -1?

That is, for this test data, we will ignore the number that caused the peak and give it a suitable value again?

And I don't quite understand your intention to use the COUNT function, the test data you provided shows that you are drawing visuals according to the 'Baseline Burndown' field.

 

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
