Line chart with dynamic goal to compare

[Galoyol84]

Hello Community,

I need your help with a line chart.  What I have is a report with three elements: 1) map to select a country, 2) line chart  and

3) indicator slicer.

If I select a country one could see the result of an indicator on a line chart. Like this

The line chart shows two lines: one is the indicator result for the selected country (solid line) and the other is the indicator result at a regional level (dotted line), the latter remains even if I select another country and that allows a comparisson. I  added the constant line using the option Analytics.

The issue I have is when selecting the other indicator in the slicer (Girls secondary school completion) ,the constant line remains and this one should have a different value. My question is:

How can I define different constants according to the slicer? 

Thanks for any help in advanced

Hi @Galoyol84 ,

I think you can use the bookmark function to make it.

Create 2 charts and 2 bookmarks for each chart.

And when you click the first value of the indicator slicer, do bookmark 1, show chart 1.

click the second value to do bookmark 2 and show chart 2.

And chart 1 and chart 2 can have a different constant line.

Please try.

Hi @Galoyol84 ,

To make bookmarks work for every selected options, you may refer to the articles: Use bookmarks to share insights and build stories in Power BI , Dynamic Visuals using Buttons, pay attention to the detail.

In addition, you may also create measure like DAX below to include the effect of slicer filter, and put the measure to chart line.

Measure1= CALCUALTE(SUM([Value]), ALLSELECTED(Slicer[selection]))

@Galoyol84 , check how it has done in this example based on slicer value the measure has been changed, do it in the same manner,

But that is not that you get from analytic TAB, it a measure

Thanks for the advice. I tried it because it is simple, but it doesn't work. I have charts 1 and 2, one on top of the other and I replaced the slicer with 2 square shapes so I can assign each one a diferent bookmark. Bookmark 1 is when chart 1 is in the front, bookmark 2 is when chart 2 is in the front. The issue is that the charts don't switch between front and back.

I'm going to try the second reply I got, but thanks

You need to set "show" or "hide" for chart 1 and chart 2 for the different bookmarks, but not "front" or "back".

Then you will make it.
