Line Chart to represent individual data as well as sum
Hi v-ljerr-msft
Thanks! This solution works exactly like I said I needed it to! However, I'm now realizing I need something a little bit different. The set of data I'm working with looks like this, with all relevant Submarket data contained in one spreadsheet:
On my vizualization, I need to show the Year End(Y) Submarket Vac % figure for all years except the current, where I need to show the previous quarter (in this case 2017 Q3). I've highlighted the relevant rows in yellow to help you see what I'm talking about. The Vac % is found by dividing the Units by the Vacant Units (939/15,124 = 6.2), or more simply, just finding the Vac % for that time period (Q3 2017 = 6.2). The sum of all individual submarkets for that time period is equal to the Metro data for that same period (ex. Metro = 151,240 Units, 10 Submarkets * 15,124 = 151,240). So, 939 Vacant Units * 10 Submarkets = 9,390 / 15,124 Units * 10 Submarkets = 151,240 - 9,390/151,240 = 6.2. With a different (much simpler) set of data I was able to accomplish what I wanted:
The indiviudal Submarket data is shown when selected, and the Metro data (which is the same as a sum of all Submarkets) is shown when ALL is selected - technically, they are both being shown, but the Submarket data is laid over the Metro for presentation purposes (it get messy when both lines show data labels):
While your previous formula is exactly what I said I needed, eliminating the Submarket data requires the data labels to be turned on for the Meto. Otherwise, the output is a line that doesn't really mean much:
Hopefully, I've explained well enough what I'm trying to produce. Please let me know if any clarification is needed. Thanks!
