Graph with multiple criteria and comparisons.

[i_stanescu_ro]

Hi guys

I need to create one single graph with the following things:

evolution on months on

sales actual for multiple categories of products

sales target for multiple categories of products

sales actual for the year before for multiple categories of products

something like:

in jan 2023 we sold 30 hats and the target was 40 for this product, and the year before in te same month we sold 50

I've created a measure using same period last year to get the numbers for sales actual per each product category

Any idea how I can create such a graph, I need only one for everything above

Pls bare in mind that I am no great expert in PBI

Thanks so much!

Hi @i_stanescu_ro 

Please try this:

First pf all, I create a set of sample data:

Then add a new table:

Table 2 = {"now","Last year"}

Two measures created:

actualSales =
VAR _newtable =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Value] )
VAR _currentDate =
    MAX ( 'Table'[date] )
VAR _currentProduct =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Products] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        _newtable,
        "now",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[actual] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
                    YEAR ( 'Table'[date] ) = YEAR ( _currentDate )
                        && MONTH ( 'Table'[date] ) = MONTH ( _currentDate )
                        && 'Table'[Products] = _currentProduct
                )
            ),
        "Last year",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[actual] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALL ( 'Table' ),
                    YEAR ( 'Table'[date] )
                        = YEAR ( _currentDate ) - 1
                        && MONTH ( 'Table'[date] ) = MONTH ( _currentDate )
                        && 'Table'[Products] = _currentProduct
                )
            )
    )

targetSales =
VAR _newtable =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Value] )
VAR _currentDate =
    MAX ( 'Table'[date] )
VAR _currentProduct =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Products] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        _newtable,
        "now",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[Target] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
                    YEAR ( 'Table'[date] ) = YEAR ( _currentDate )
                        && MONTH ( 'Table'[date] ) = MONTH ( _currentDate )
                        && 'Table'[Products] = _currentProduct
                )
            ),
        "Last year",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[Target] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALL ( 'Table' ),
                    YEAR ( 'Table'[date] )
                        = YEAR ( _currentDate ) - 1
                        && MONTH ( 'Table'[date] ) = MONTH ( _currentDate )
                        && 'Table'[Products] = _currentProduct
                )
            )
    )

Then add two slicer with the filed of the products and date separately:

A line and clustered column chart can be created:

The result is as follow:

If the above one can't help you, could you please provide more raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution.

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
