Comparison Line chart based on slicer with measuees

Hello all, 

 

I'm quite new to Power BI and need help with the following issue:

I have made a page to compare invoiced revenue and actual revenue. I have a line chart that shows both values. However, there may be extra revenue on the actual revenue. I have made two measures: Total Actual Revenue & Total Actual Revenue including extra revenue. In the line chart is only shows the invoiced revenue and Total Actual Revenue. Sometimes I also need to compare the invoiced revenue with the actial revnue including extra revenue. I don't want three lines in the chart but I want to have a slicer with tiles to select either with or without extra revenue. The line for invoiced revenue always stays the same. Is this possible and if so, how can I do this? 
I hope I explained the situation well. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @bnjmnr ,
I hope I understand well what you want to achieve here. I will help you create buttons with your metrics step-by-step, allowing your end users to select which metrics will be shown in the line chart.
1. Create a table with your metrics as input (I am using an example from my dashboard, adjust accordingly).

2. Create equivalent measures for each of your metrics

 

(Sel) eCom CPM = 
VAR calc = COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(eCom_Select_Measures,
    eCom_Select_Measures[eCom_Selected_Measures] = "CPM"))
    RETURN
    IF(ISBLANK([Countrows eCom Select measure]),
    BLANK(),
    IF(calc = 1, KPIs[CPM],
    BLANK()))

 

3. Create a metric that supports the previous one.

 

Countrows eCom Select measure = 
IF(
    ISFILTERED(eCom_Select_Measures[eCom_Selected_Measures]),
    COUNTROWS(VALUES(eCom_Select_Measures[eCom_Selected_Measures])),
    BLANK())

 

4. Then create your line chart with inputs on the axis the (sel) metrics you created above in step 2.

5. Create a slicer and in the field input the column from the table you created in step 1.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best of luck!😊

Hi, 

 

it is unclear for me, maybe if I tell what the names for my measures are it will be clear for me: the revenue including extra revenue is called: Total Actual Revenue

the name with just the revenue is called: Actual Revenue Excl Demurrage

both measures are in the tabel called: MeasuresTbl

the table that has the data for the measures is called: Finance TotalTbl. 

If you can adjust for the names maybe it will be clear! Thank you for your time!
