Fixed line in line graph

[Sara16]

Hi peeps

I have a link graph which is affected by an array of slicers however I do not want one of the lines to be changed when slicers are changes. My example is in the below. I want the "DPS Average" to not change but the others to change - HELP!

[Sara16]

Apologies if I was not clear.

The measure I have above is the one I have duplicated. So Ill have both in the same graph but for one measure I want it to be affected (area) by the slicers and the other I do not want it to be affected. So when I use the Calculate[DPS Average] all()) for one measure it still is affected by the slicers.

Hi @Sara16 ,

Sorry for the late back. How about using different measures separately, not to duplicate it. One using the original measure and another using the Fixed Line.

Thanks Kalyj - unfortunately still doesnt work. Not duplicating the measure but duplicating the code for the measure but then creating a measure based on the code you have supplied. 

So to explain I have the main measure of 

Average Days Per FTE - rolling 12 Months =

VAR STARTDATE =

    CALCULATE ( STARTOFMONTH('Unscheduled Leave'[Cal. year / month]) )

RETURN

    CALCULATE (

        DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Unscheduled Leave'[Actual Days]), SUM ( 'Employee Master'[FTE - Operational] ) ),

        DATESINPERIOD ( 'Report Date'[Date], STARTDATE, -12, MONTH)

        )*12

Then I have duplicated this code for DPS Average. But to get DPS average I used your code 

DPS Average = CALCULATE (

    [DPS Average Days Per FTE - Measure],

    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Report Date', 'Report Date'[Date] )

). 

Unfortunately any time you change the slicers it changes everything

Hi @Sara16 ,

For example column in the slicer is [Category], try to modify the code:

DPS Average =
CALCULATE ( [DPS Average Days Per FTE - Measure], ALL ( [Category] ) )

Thankyou Kalyj - this works well - however if I want multiple categories to be ignored, a simple comma doesnt seem to work?

Unfortunately this still isnt working 😞 I have duplicated the meausre as one measure needs to capture all (with as you mentioned above the parenthesis) and one that is affected by the slicer but it picks up for both

My measure is 

Average Days Per FTE - rolling 12 Months =

VAR STARTDATE =

CALCULATE ( STARTOFMONTH('Unscheduled Leave'[Cal. year / month]) )

RETURN

CALCULATE (

DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Unscheduled Leave'[Actual Days]), SUM ( 'Employee Master'[FTE - Operational] ) ),

DATESINPERIOD ( 'Report Date'[Date], STARTDATE, -12, MONTH)

)*12

Hi @Sara16 ，

Sorry I'm not very clear "one measure needs to capture all" and "one that is affected by the slicer but it picks up for both".

In your original post, you want the "DPS Average" to not change but the others to change, so when you replace the DPS Average with the Fixed Line, what happend? Does it still change by the slicer?

So what I mean is that I have three slicers - Division, Branch Section. I have the same formula for two meausres. One i want all Division, Branch section to be fixed and not changed. But my slicers (Division, Branch and Section) change the other measure. Does that make sense?

Hi @Sara16 ,

In your fomula below, you add a extra symbol "{", it caused the error.

Additonally, you should use the allexcept function, otherwise the fixed line value is the same for each date.

If the Axis of the line chart is [Date], modify the formula like this:

Fixed Line =
CALCULATE (
    [DSP Average],
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Unscheduled Leave', 'Unscheduled Leave'[Date] )
)

Get the correct result in my sample.

I attach my sample below for your reference.

@Sara16 . Create a line on a measure like 

calculate([Measure], all() )

This will ignore all the filter

[Sara16]

Thankyou I tried this one and still fails - see error message below

[amitchandak]

@Sara16 , parenthesis after calculate are two, there should be one

calculate([DPS Average], all() )

or

calculate([DPS Average], all('Unscheduled Leave') )

[Sara16]

Unfortunately still doesnt work 😞 is it because its the same measure but I am trying to fix one of the measures?
