Remove filter on a column but also find selected value

I am trying to come up with a tooltip page on a matrix that shows line chart or column chart for all years and highlights the year based on where the cursor is placed ( through conditional formatting).

 

Sample Data :

The matrix visual looks as below with Year on the COlumn and City on the Row

Measure - SumMeasure = SUM('Fact Table'[Fact Count])

 

I am creating a tooltip page that displays a line chart for all years 2021 - 2024 (irrespective of slicer filtering) but highlights the year column on which cursor is placed in a different color.

For Example, if I place my cursor second row last column, I should show the column / bar that shows the 2024 value for Philadephia which is 3 in a different color. But there should be 5 columns for 2020, 2021...2024 even though the year slicer is filtered from 2021 to 2024.  

 

This is how far I got:  I turned off Keep Filters on the tooltip page. Added the city as a filter card.  With Year on x-axis and SumMeasure on y-axis, I am able to get all the years.  

 

Problem: How do I highlight the bar in a different color based on the cursor position. Since I am turning off Keep Filters, year is not flowing through so I do not know where the cursor was placed.

 

How can I achieve this ?

Hi,

One of ways to achieve this is to create a disconnected year axis table, something like below.
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

SumMeasure: = 
SUM(Data[Fact Count])

 

TREATAS function - DAX | Microsoft Learn

 

Tooltip SumMeasure: = 
CALCULATE (
    [SumMeasure:],
    TREATAS ( VALUES ( 'CT Year tooltip axis'[Year] ), 'Year'[Year] )
)

 

cf Column color: = 
VAR _yearselect =
    SELECTEDVALUE( 'Year'[Year] )
RETURN
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'CT Year tooltip axis'[Year] ) = _yearselect,
        "Red",
        "Yellow"
    )
