This is an extension of a query I had on a specific format of data (kindly answered by @Datatouille ) - but since it's not the same topic - I've created a unique post to keep things mutually exclusive.
I have a small example model where I calculate a number of measures (cost, revenue, profit) with a time dimension as well (month).
I'd like to display these in a line chart - something like this - with a slicer with the measure names to be able to display whatever measure is selected:
Currently this is done not using the individual measures but by using a Total Amount measure which in this contrived repro model is just a SUM - but my actual model has many measures with completely different formulae - so I can't take quite the same approach.
How would I create a slicer that has a selection of measures, with the measures wired through to the visual?
I imagine one way to go about it would be to:
1) Create a dimension table for date using DISTINCT against source data
2) Manually create a dimension table with measure names
3) Cross join these into a new table
4) Lookup (CALCULATE with FILTER) values in the new table against the measures in the source data table
The problem I see with this is that my actual model has many dimension tables, and a cross join across all of these is going to lead to a massively huge additional dataset in Power BI. It doesn't seem like a very efficient way to do this. It would be much better to be able to create a slicer with measure names that can be selected to filter the visual.
Any thoughts? Is there any way to do this?
