DAX Help

[Anonymous]

I am using a Line Chart in my dashboard.  the ideal behavior would be show the visualization as "Blank" unless the user has selected the a specific Campaign Name in the slicer.

I am unsure how to create the behavior and look for help.

Thanks!

Generally you handle this with a measure in the format:

Measure = IF(HASONEFILTER(<columnName>),<calculation>,BLANK())

@Greg_Deckler

In this case, the output in the Line Graph is already a calculation I have created.  Does this impact the solution?

Also, can you be a little more explicit in how and where this "new" measure is applied?

Thanks.

Assuming that your calculation is a measure called "My Measure", then you could do this:

Measure = IF(HASONEFILTER(<columnName>),[My Measure],BLANK())

<columnName> you would replace on the column that you want them to filter/slice on.

Put this Measure in place of where you currently have your "My Measure" in your line chart visualization (Values area most likely)

Perfect, thanks.

One last question.  Is there a way to display a message, when the condition hasn't been met (slicer used).

Such as, "Select Campaign Name to see results"?

Thanks again!

create another measure to show label.

Label = IF(HASONEFILTER(Table3[Category]),"", "Select Campaign Name to see results")

Thanks.  And like above, can you tell me how this gets applied relative to @Greg_Deckler direction to include his measure in the Values slot?

Thank you both.

drop multil row card visual on canvas and in fields add this new measure "Label"
