Dynamic graph - manual selection

Dear all, 

 

I saw an amazing feature of Power BI on Linkedin. 

Unfortunately, I can't find the link anymore.... 

 

I want to create a column chart and I want to be able to change data directly into the graph with my mouse. 

For example, 

Y axis: Name of employees 

X axis: Number of days 

 

I want to move my column chart for one employee for more days. 

Is it possible to do it in Power BI? Any clue how to do it? 

 

Thank you in advance for you help

Hi @julrua 

I'm sorry that I can't fully understand what you mean . Maybe you can describe it more clearly .

(1)Whats the meaning of Number of days .The diff between Start Date and End Data ?

(2)What kind of visual effect it is if you move your column chart for one employee for more days

 

I created a simple example, you can refer to the following

Original data :

I create a column to count the diff days between Start Date and End Date .

DIFF = DATEDIFF('Table'[Start Date],'Table'[End Date],DAY)

And add a bar chart to display the effect .
