@Anonymous - I am not 100% understanding what you are asking but I will give it is shot. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

 

So, if what you are referring to Val and Qty are values displayed in your line chart, there is a technique called the Disconnected Table Trick that might help as this article demonstrates: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Solving-Attendance-with-the-Disconnected-Table-Trick/ba-p/279563

 

Basically, Let's say you create a table, "Choices" with a column "Choice" and two values, Val and Qty.  You would use this to create a slicer. Then you could create a measure like the following:

Measure = 
  VAR __Choice = SELECTEDVALUE('Choices'[Choice])
RETURN
  SWITCH(__Choice,
    "Val",SUM([Val]),
    "Qty",SUM([Qty])
  )

 

You would use this Measure in your visualization.

Hi @Anonymous ,

may be you use in the first step the blank button - you can find it under "Insert" and "Buttons" -> "Blank"

there you can directly choose your Bookmark really easy 🙂

I have Val and Qty chart with 2 buttons respectively , in another chart i have sales analysis by Hour,Day and so on

 

when i am in seeing the sales analysis by Hour i should see qty and val (based on clicking val and qty button) and same when i am in Day  i should see qty and val. and so on for other Time button

 

the problem is when I am looking at Hour and trying to  click the qty button , it taking me to DAY wise chart.

 

hope i am clear this time

Tough to follow. Bookmarks can be tricky sometimes, make sure you have everything setup exactly for Hour the way you want and then update your bookmark. Very difficult to tell what is going on.
