Column/linechart variance

Hey

 

Setup:

Compare revenue of several products. 

Column: Revenue, per year, multiple products

Line: Variance Y-t-Y

 

Now the problem is that I only get 1 line. If multiple objects selected, it just takes the total variance and not the individual variance per object. 

For example. 3 products, 3 years.

For each year, 3 columns, one per product. 3 lines throughout the chart for the variance. 

 

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Anonymous 

In this case, you need to create individual measures for different products. For example:

Variance % A = 
VAR thisYear = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Year])
VAR thisYearRevenue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Revenue]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Year]),'Table'[Product]="A")
VAR lastYearRevenue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Revenue]),ALL('Table'),'Table'[Year]=thisYear-1,'Table'[Product]="A")
RETURN
DIVIDE(thisYearRevenue-lastYearRevenue,lastYearRevenue)

Change the product name in the measure to create multiple measures for multiple lines in the chart. Here is a pbix file for reference.
