Constant Line Challenge/Small Mutiples

Hello Power BI Community,

 

I am having some challenges with my constant line in my Clustered Bar Chart/small mutiples. Here is what i am looking to achieve, my current view is based on "Fonctions", my bar named Cible on Fonction 9 is showing the correct value at 77%, but my constant line is calculating it based on all Fonctions bundled together at 56%.

 

I am trying to figure out a way to have my constant line be based on the small mutiple Fonctions and not all Fonctions together.

Basically my constant line to show 77% like the yellow bar for Fonction 9.

Is there some level of detail calculations....(I am new to Power Bi for the past year, coming from Tableau)

 

Thank you everyone.Untitled2.png

No worries, It still helps me explain to my boss why it won't work. I am exactly on your side Rita about to only show the bar charts, that was my solution as well, but my boss gave me challenge. I am telling you, I get this weird requests all the time.😂  I am sure by your experience you must have received weird requests as well.

Of course! But I work in data visualization and UX, partly for ideological reasons, so I know how to provide the right rationale for the "why not?"
I also try to give answers here that go a bit beyond the purely "technical."
Hopefully, it helps from time to time 🙂

Hello Ritaf1983,

 

I uploaded my pbix from my google drive, can you let me know if this works. I updated my file to not include senstive data.

 

What i am trying to achieve is to have my constant = my Yellow Bar (%Interne Cible). For example Fonction9, constant line is 56%, I would like it to be 77% (like my bar)

Hello Ritaf,

 

Thank you for the taking your time to help me out with this, I apperciate it. If it was an individual visual, then I would have put a static line/value, unfortunately its not the case. I will inform my leadership team of the challenge.

 

I will vote as well, have yourself a great day. 

Regards,

Marc

Sorry, I couldn't help more.
P.S
Why do you need the line for the same value already put on the bar?
It's also less effective in terms of data visualization. Comparing bars stacked one below the other is much easier than comparing to a line. And if the line doesn't add any extra information, it's just unnecessary noise for the brain...
Maybe it's worth sharing this perspective with your boss too 🙂
