Create a Dynamic Reference Line Based on A Cumulative Measure
- 8 years ago
Hi,
Here is your PBIX file with the relevant corrections and additions to make the dynamic reference line. A couple of notes:
1. to calculate the cumulative values you need to wrap the 'Table" in ALL instead of ALLSELECTED.2. I've created two examples:
- one with a fixed reference line (April Example)
- A dynamic Reference Line example
3. To be able to let the user select the reference month, you need to create a disconnected table to use as the slicer. You will see this in the relationships pane.
Hope this helps!

Interesting, because that adds a new context, and that entails re-doing the measures.
This seems to work:
For the cumulative 'real' and 'target' measures, you need to wrap the table ref. with the ALLSELECTED (as per your orignal measure).
Cumulative real = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Real]); FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'); 'Table'[Month Order]<= MAX('Table'[Month Order]) ) )Cumulative target = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Target]);
FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table');
'Table'[Month Order]<= MAX('Table'[Month Order])
)
)And for the dynamic cumulative target line, you need:
Dynamic Target Ref Line = VAR Selectedmonth = SELECTEDVALUE(Months[Month Order]) RETURN CALCULATE([Cumulative Target]; FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'); 'Table'[Month Order] <= Selectedmonth) )Here is the PBIX file
Try it and see if it works.
