Dynamic baseline calculation

[mikess1281]

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.

Hi @mikess1281 

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

1. 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.

2. Use Slicers: Add a slicer to your report for year selection based on the Yearselection table.

3. 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.

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])
    )
)
