MTD YTD issue on histogram

Hey guys, i am really struggling with this right now, hope you can help me. Basically, I finally got the right numbers using MTD and YTD for my calculations but now I need to display them on the histogram, but I need them to be split up on histogram like three seperate measures, just like shown below. However, This is what I get right now. And everytime i take off date hierarchy or  do something else, then the MTD function doesnt work.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    According to my understand , you want to set measure name as X-axis, right?

    You could create a new table like this:
     

    And then use SWITCH() function to match each measure:

    Measure =
    SWITCH ( MAX ( 'For X-axis'[Type] ), "YTD", [YTD], "MTD", [MTD] )

    Then you could "seperate" measures in visual:

    Here is the pbix file.

     

    Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
    If not, please upload some insensitive data samples and expected output.

     

    Best Regards,
    Eyelyn Qin

      Anonymous  Hi Eyelyn, thats actually very helpful. The only thing is that instead of YTD I want to display MTD LY, but when I change everything to that, I get blank histogram.
