Hi,
I'm new to PowerBi.
I'm getting a list of fire extinguishers and their pressure.
fire extinguisher name / pressure value / date
Ext1 12 02/10/2018
Ext2 10 02/10/2018
Ext3 14 02/10/2018
Ext2 11 04/10/2018
Ext1 16 04/10/2018
Ext3 9 04/10/2018
I would like to display a graph that shows the changes in pressures over time. But I can't find at all how to set up my graph.

Hello,
See , i came up with this solution. you can tweak this solution to compare with average of last few data points etc..... this is just to give me an idea/direction to create something as per your requriement. Hope this helps.
Note : i am comparing current value with last data point ( last data point could be yesterday or average of last 2 days etc..).
i created a calculated Table taking fields from your example and create 3 measures
Current = today's presure value for each Ext*
Datapoint = All previous value . this is example it will give value for 2nd OCT as there is no other date exists yet.
variance = current - Datapoint ( you can also create a seperate mesaure to calculate variance)
TableVariance = ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE(Ext,
Ext[Prod] )
,"Current",CALCULATE(SUM(Ext[presure]),'Date'[istoday]=0)
,"Data Point",CALCULATE(SUM(Ext[presure]),'Date'[istoday]<0)
,"Variance", CALCULATE(SUM(Ext[presure]),'Date'[istoday]=0) - CALCULATE(SUM(Ext[presure]),'Date'[istoday]<0)
)
You also need one Date table. ( link this table with main data table ( Ext in this example)
Date istoday
01-OCT-18 -1
02-OCT-18 0 (today)
03-OCT-18
04-OCT-18
istoday =istoday = if('Date'[Date]=today(),0,
if('Date'[Date]=today()-1,-1,
if('Date'[Date]=TODAY()-2,-2,-2 )))
Cheers Bob
@DataCube Is it something similar you ar looking for...

I'm looking to make this kind of graph :
So I created a "curve graph".
I put: Axis=Created (date), Legend=Name (ext1, ext2,...), Values=Values (pressure).
But I just get a straight line....
I want to see the pressure fluctuation of each extinguisher over time.
