I want to create a line chart that shows, on the x axis the Stage (4 stages) and shows the number of Findings on the y axis. It needs to show the lines for individual Projects and the 80th Percentile line for the Projects selected. I have created the DAX measure for the 80th Percentile and the data displays OK (and correctly calculated, code below) in a Matrix format but I cannot present the same information on a line chart. I can only get the line chart to display an aggregate of the selected Projects and the Percentile line.
Is there a way to do this? Have tried creating a CombinedTable but that generates an error message "The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value."
I'm stuck. Please help!!
DAX for 80th Percentile: -

Yeah, I got the same level of help from Google. For anybody else encountering this, I eventually found that changing the visual to a bar/ line combo chart worked with the individual Projects depicted as bars and the percentile values as lines (I also added 20th and Median in the same way).

Hi @royces99 ,
The error message you're encountering, "The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value," typically occurs when a DAX expression intended to return a single value instead references multiple columns. This can happen in scenarios where the context of the calculation isn't correctly defined for the visualization you're attempting to create.
