Column chart using mesures

Hi everyone, I'm having some troubles with the column chart and I would like to know if someone could help me.

 

I need to plot a column chart like the following:

alfertab_1-1708362528914.png

 

My only problem is that all the results that appears in the chart are measures that were calculated from the columns of a table like the following:

 

DayEnergy Base LoadEnergy Int. LoadEnergy Peak LoadEnergy Base NetEnergy Int NetEnergy Peak LoadBase HourInt. HoursPeak Hours
01/01100013001250150013501006144
02/01105013501200160014001506144

 

The measures are calculated as shown below:

Dprom Load base: CALCULATE(SUM(Energy Base Load)) / CALCULATE(SUM(Base Hour)) = 2050/12 = 170.83

Dprom Load Int: CALCULATE(SUM(Energy Int. Load)) / CALCULATE(SUM(Int. Hours)) = 2650/28 = 94.64

Dprom Load peak: CALCULATE(SUM(Energy Peak Load)) / CALCULATE(SUM(Peak Hours)) = 2450/8 =306.25 

Dprom NET base: CALCULATE(SUM(Energy Base Net)) / CALCULATE(SUM(Base Hour)) = 3100/12 = 258.33

Dprom Net Int: CALCULATE(SUM(Energy Int. Net)) / CALCULATE(SUM(Int. Hours)) =2750/28 =98.21

Dprom Net peak: CALCULATE(SUM(Energy Peak Net)) / CALCULATE(SUM(Peak Hours)) = 250/8 = 31.25

@alfertab Create two measures, Measure1 and Measure2 similar to the following:

Measure1 = 
  VAR __AxisValue = MAX('Table'[Axis Column])
  VAR __Result =
    SWITCH( __AxisValue,
      "Base", [Dprom Load Base],
      "Intermediate", [Dpom Net Int],
      [Dprom Net Peak]
    )
RETURN
  __Result


Measure2 = 
  VAR __AxisValue = MAX('Table'[Axis Column])
  VAR __Result =
    SWITCH( __AxisValue,
      "Base", [Dprom NET Base],
      "Intermediate", [Dpom Load Int],
      [Dprom Load Peak]
    )
RETURN
  __Result

Hi @alfertab 

 

Thanks to @Greg_Deckler  for the method, here are my additions:

 

A second table was created.

vxuxinyimsft_0-1708396098409.png

 

Measure:

Dprom Load = 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[a]) = "Base", [Dprom Load base],
SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[a]) = "Intermediate", [Dprom Load Int],
SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[a]) = "Peak", [Dprom Load peak])

 

Dprom Net = 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[a]) = "Base", [Dprom NET base],
SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[a]) = "Intermediate", [Dprom Net Int],
SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[a]) = "Peak", [Dprom Net peak])

@Greg_Deckler @Anonymous Thanks a lot to both of  you. Personally I used @Anonymous  method (it was a little easier for me to understand) but both worked. 😄
