Merging Two Cumulative Lines
Hi all,
I have two measures -
Actual Cumulative Cost = CALCULATE(SUM('K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost]),FILTER(ALL('K:01303 (Combined)'),'K:01303 (Combined)'[Month]<=MAX('K:01303 (Combined)'[Month])&&'K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost Type]="Actual Cost"))
Forecasted Cumulative Cost = CALCULATE(SUM('K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost]),FILTER(ALL('K:01303 (Combined)'),'K:01303 (Combined)'[Month]<=MAX('K:01303 (Combined)'[Month])&&'K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost Type]="Forecast"))I have the original cost values set up where the Forecast costs show as 0 if they are posted before today's date. I've highlighted what I'd like to stay. The 2nd chart is from Excel and shows how I would like it to look. Is there a simple way to combine these while hiding the non-highlighted part?
Also, since the measures are created in DAX, any additional changes, I assume, would also have to be in DAX and not an m-formula.
Thanks,
Robyn

I would have thought just making a measure adding the two things together would work...
jthomson I guess technically that would work, but wouldn't I lose the cost type/color variance if they became one value?

amitchandak I get an error "Model object names must be non-empty". Not sure what this means but I don't believe any of my values are blank.
