Dynamic Y-axis range in Line chart

Hello!

I have four line charts shown next to each other. They contain the same data F_merged[Value] but there us a filter used on each of them.

I need to have the same Y-axis range for all four charts. If all of them are showing values less than 50, the range should go from 0 to 50. If at least one of them is showing value greater than 50, ranges for all four charts should go from 0 to 100.

 

I am using measure to set the Maximum for Y-axis (based on find the highest value among those plotted in the chart:

F_YMax = IF(MAX(F_merged[Value]) = 0, 50, IF(CEILING(MAX(F_merged[Value]),10)<60,CEILING(MAX(F_merged[Value]),50),100))
(yes, it probably could be written more simply, but nevermind, this works - it changes between 50 and 100 accordingly)
 
However, even if F_YMax is 100, there are some cases when the range of Y-axis is not changed to 0-100.
Can anyone explain why is this happening?
 
Thanks a lot!

Hi @aileenkaz , hello parry2k, thank you for your prompt reply!

 

Please try the following measure:

ValueMeasure = MAX('Table'[Value])

 

F_YMax = 
 IF(
        MAXX(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[ValueMeasure]) = 0, 
        50, 
        IF(
            CEILING(MAXX(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[ValueMeasure]), 10) < 60, 
            CEILING(MAXX(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[ValueMeasure]), 50), 
            100
        )
    )

 

 Result:

@aileenkaz that makes sense. Let me ask you this. Do all these visuals have filters from the common tables? What does the data model look like? Can you share a sample pbix file?

@aileenkaz yes that is the reason, let's test changing ALLSELECTED to ALL and go from there.

If I use ALL, F_YMax is always 100 (even if all plotted values in the four graphs are less than 50).

@aileenkaz hard to tell but try this:

 

F_YMax = I
VAR __Max = CALCULATE ( MAX(F_merged[Value]), ALLSELECTED () )
RETURN
IF ( __Max = 0, 50, 
    IF ( CEILING (__Max, 10 ) < 60, CEILING ( __Max, 50 ), 100 )
)

I tried, but the result is the same 😞

It seems the value of F_YMax is calculated for each graph separately.
