Line graph with 2 lines from same table but have separate interaction filters

Hopefully this doesn't get too confusing. I will try to use examples where possible! So my problem is, I am trying to create a line graph with 2 lines (year A and year B) from a single table (data source). I then want to filter these lines separately with a slicer e.g. changing filters for line 1 will only affect that line and line 2 will remain as is on the graph for comparison purposes. See image below.

The only way i can get this to work at the moment is by duplicating my table (data) and creating 1 line from original table and creating line 2 from duplicate table. Then i can create seperate slicers which affect each line separately.

 

This would work for a small dataset but once the data gets larger, duplicating is not an option and i would like to do this from a single table. Is this possible on PowerBI?

Hi @Anonymous ,

If I understand correctly, you want to achieve this result: one of two lines in the same line chart can be filtered by the slicer, but the other one will not affected by this slicer. Sorry that I haven't found a better solution than your existing workaround (add a duplicate visual). You can have a look at the posts in this thread and check if you can get a different idea from it.

Best Regards

Rena

@Anonymous Yes this is essentially what im trying to do, I will have a read and keep looking to see if there is a way.

 

@amitchandak Oh that does sound a bit confusing for me, i'm not completely there yet with my PowerBI knowledge.

@Anonymous , If the two lines are two measures and need to filter on two different dimensions. You can use All for the dimension for which filter should not pass

Line 1 = calculate([Measure],all(Dim1))

Line 2 = calculate([Measure],all(Dim2))
