Hi Guys,
I have a table which contains optimal value and months where the value either rises or falls below optimal value. I have used Slicer to filter specific Metrics. I have attached a picture below for clear explanation.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @meIdo ,
According to your description, here is my suggestion.
When you use a histogram, the central axis always start at 0. I think if you want to see which month is above or below the baseline, you might as well do a subtraction. Please follow these steps.
Create measures.
July = MAX('Table'[Jul])-MAX('Table'[Baseline])Augest = MAX('Table'[Agu])-MAX('Table'[Baseline])September = MAX('Table'[Sep])-MAX('Table'[Baseline])
When the value is positive, it means that the baseline is exceeded, and when the value is nagative, it means that it is below the baseline.
Final Output:
Or you can use EXCEL to add a baseline and please refer to the following link which may be helpful to you.

I attach my sample below for your reference.
