Filter by clicking on chart legend

Hi, I have a chart as follow:

ss.png

The data is loaded from 4 columns in a table: Date, Additional Cost, Trip Rate, and kg. I created a measure for each of the cost.

 

What I'm trying to do is create a cost card that change when clicking on the legend (Total cost when none is selected, or only additional cost/trip rate).

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

You cannot do this directly you need to do a workaround:

  • Create a table with the following information:
Measure
Total Cost
Trip Rate

 

Now do the following measure:

Selection Measure = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Legend_Table'[Measure]);"Trip Rate";[Trip rate measure];"Total Cost";[Total cost measure];[Total cost measure])

 

Now create your chart in the following way:

  • Shared Axis Date
  • Column Series: Measure column (previous create column)
  • Columns Values: Selection Measure
  • Line Values: Kgs Measure

For your card you just need to add the Selection Measure and everything will work accordingly.

 

Check a PBIX file, altough the axis is a category works the same for dates.
