Filter values x-axis dynamically

[Anonymous]

Hi! I created a monthly percent difference chart using Power BI's quick measure, month-over-month change. My problem is the value for the next month (-100%) always appear in the chart. I only want up until the current month (in this case/example, February).

 

When I change the filter (visual level) of the x-axis such that all months are selected except for March, I get my desired chart. 

My question now is, is there a way to dynamically choose the months (in x-axis) here? I'm not talking about filtering the data used under the chart but just the values/ categories in the axis. Note that the axis I'm using is a date hierarchy - with year and level.

If there's no way to dynamically filter the x-axis, can you suggest another way of making this kind of chart to achieve my desired result?

Thanks!

Hi @Vvelarde,

How do I add that here? Do I remove ISFILTERED?

ExtendedCost MoM% =
IF( ISFILTERED('Table'[Date]),
ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column."),
VAR __PREV_MONTH =
CALCULATE(
SUM(''Table'[Cost]),
DATEADD(''Table'[Date].[Date], -1, MONTH)
)
RETURN
DIVIDE(SUM(''Table'[Cost]) - __PREV_MONTH, __PREV_MONTH)
)

Before of ISfiltered

IF(HASONEVALUE(.........);

IF (ISFILTERED(.....

Hi @Vvelarde,

Still says ; is invalid to me. What's the difference of using a ' ; ' and a ' , ' ?

Can you also explain what does adding IF(HASONEVALUE()) does to the formula?

Thanks so much! : )

The ; and , is just regional settings.

If you Formula works with , all should be with ,

HASONEVALUE evaluate in your scenario if you had a date in that context.  In April you don't have dates so the result is blank and don't show in the visual.

Okay, I understand that part now. Thanks Victor! But the thing is the month on month change quick measure always gives the final row (the -100%).  What should I do so that the last row will not end up showing in my chart? (Thanks for answering my endless questions 🙂 )

I Answer in PM. The answer to avoid this is:

Cost MoM% = 
IF(MAX('Table1'[Date_new])<>BLANK();
IF(
	ISFILTERED('Table1'[Date_new]);
	ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column.");
	VAR __PREV_MONTH =
		CALCULATE(
			SUM('Table1'[Cost]);
			DATEADD('Table1'[Date_new].[Date]; -1; MONTH)
		)
	RETURN
		DIVIDE(SUM('Table1'[Cost]) - __PREV_MONTH; __PREV_MONTH)
))
