I am trying to graph the same variable, filtered on different date ranges so I can compare values. Is this possible without creating a new measure? For example, I have a measure that divides production volumes by forecasted volumes to see what % of forecasted volumes I am actually producing. I want to compare that % from Jan - Mar to the % from Jan - Apr. Is that possible?
Thanks
Hi @Anonymous,
If you measure is a measure without any filter which can ignore the original filter, you can operate it like below:
Calculate on Original Measure =
CALCULATE([MeasureCount],AND('Table'[Date]>=Date(2016,1,1),'Table'[Date]<=Date(2016,5,1)))
/
CALCULATE([MeasureCount],AND('Table'[Date]>=Date(2016,1,1),'Table'[Date]<=Date(2017,4,1)))
If it contains the specified filter, you can't operation it at outside, you should write a new measure with original calculations and new filters.

Hi @Anonymous
It is possibly but probably though creating extra measures. How come you want to avoid creating measures?
