DAX to create a Trend line?
- 8 years ago
Hi MarkSL
Just tested it out and the issue is with ALLSELECTED ( 'DateTable'[Date] ). It doesn't work as intended when you filter on a column other that Date, such as Month.
One possible fix is the change in red below.
I have restated your entire code for completeness.
That should work (tested a mock-up model at my end) but let me know if it doesn't
Oh, by the way, there is a "Combine Series" setting for trendlines that determines whether each series gets its own trend line.

Estimated Sales = VAR Known = FILTER ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'DateTable'[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ('DateTable') ), "Known[X]", 'DateTable'[Date], "Known[Y]", [SalesDaily2] ), AND ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( Known[X] ) ), NOT ( ISBLANK ( Known[Y] ) ) ) ) VAR Count_Items = COUNTROWS ( Known ) VAR Sum_X = SUMX ( Known, Known[X] ) VAR Sum_X2 = SUMX ( Known, Known[X] ^ 2 ) VAR Sum_Y = SUMX ( Known, Known[Y] ) VAR Sum_XY = SUMX ( Known, Known[X] * Known[Y] ) VAR Average_X = AVERAGEX ( Known, Known[X] ) VAR Average_Y = AVERAGEX ( Known, Known[Y] ) VAR Slope = DIVIDE ( Count_Items * Sum_XY - Sum_X * Sum_Y, Count_Items * Sum_X2 - Sum_X ^ 2 ) VAR Intercept = Average_Y - Slope * Average_X RETURN SUMX ( DISTINCT ( 'DateTable'[Date] ), Intercept + Slope * 'DateTable'[Date] )

)Hi Owen,
Thanks for the fantastic code!
I used your code to create a trend line, it's working great, but only calculates a trend for the entire dataset. I have a list of facilities, and I want the trend line to dynamically update when I select different facilities using a page level filter. I'm trying to change this so it can adapt to visual filters, but not much luck, and hope you might be able to help. Thanks a lot in advane!
Cheers,
Michael
