Measure value does not change dynamically in an error bar when selecting value from a visual

Hello, 

I'm trying to make a measure value change dynamically in an error bar (low point) by selecting a value from a visual like table or matrix.

 

For some reason when selecting a value from any visual other visuals are filtered by it but the error bar (low point) value is not filtered. However when selecting a value from a slicer also the error bar value filters. 

Value selected from a slicer:

Value selected from a visual.

Currently the measure value only reacts to slicer selection but when selecting value from a visual the error bar value remains unfiltered.

Measure in the error bar is a basic SUM() in a CALCULATE()

Any ideas?

Hi @Oodi ,

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Drag the Inventory table item field into the table visual.

3.Create the new measure to calculate the values based on the table visual selected.

Sum Transaction = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Inventory table'[Quantity]),
    FILTER(
        'Inventory table',
        'Inventory table'[Item No] = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Item No])
    )
)

4.Select the Item in the table visual and the result is shown below.

Hi @Oodi 

 

Assuming the expression is correct, it is possible that the interaction between visual objects is blocked, you can check if the option is checked as shown below.
