    Hi albertgarri,

     

    I am sorry for inconvenience, I misunderstand your idea in above reply. The solution above is to create a new table using formula. While in this solution, please click the Enter Date, you will get the create table window, please type the values, you can rename the table name in highlighted background section. Click OK  you get Table4.

     

     

     


    In the DAX formula, "Expected Value" is the measure name. Please right click your table->New measure, type the following statement is over-all.

     

    Expected Value = 
IF(HASONEVALUE( Table3[Value]),
 SWITCH(VALUES( Table3[Value]),
 "Amount", SUM( Table4[Amount] ),
 "Amount spent", SUM( Table4[Amount spend] ),
 "Price per unit", SUM( Table4[Price per Unit] )
 ), "Please select only one value to display")

    In your scenario, please replace Table3 name using your actual table name. Table4 is the new table name. Please replace it using your table name.

    If you have any other issue, please let me know

     

    Best Regards,
    Angelia

Hi albertgarri,

Just as the BetterCallFrank posted, his point is right. But miss a comma in his measure. I try to reproduce and get expected result.

Create a new table including the three column header name.  I name it Table3 shown in screenshot below.



Expected Value = 
IF(HASONEVALUE( Table3[Value]),
 SWITCH(VALUES( Table3[Value]),
 "Amount", SUM( Table4[Amount] ),
 "Amount spent", SUM( Table4[Amount spend] ),
 "Price per unit", SUM( Table4[Price per Unit] )
 ), "Please select only one value to display")


Then create clustered column chart, select the Food field as Axis, select the "Expected Value" as value level, you will get the right result. Please see the fisrt picture, when you select "Amount", it will display all the value of different food. While when clicks the "Price per unit" box , the graph will show "Price per unit" per "Food" data shown in the second picture.






If you have any other problem, please feel free to ask.

Best Regards,
Angelia

Thank you very much for all your fast responses. I'm pretty sure this would have solved a more advanced user problem. 
However, I'm still very new with power BI and I do not dominate some of the basic tools.

I've tried to follow your instructions but I got stuck at the 1st step. I don't know how to create the table with the three column header name. Can you give me some indications?  

 

Again, thank you so much for the help :)
