Need help creating an SPC chart with filter capability?
Hi All
I am trying to impress the boss with some SPC Charts that can show either a count of all invoices per month or a sum of revenue per month with some 6sigma based analysis lines on the chart.
For this I need a basic line chart that shows the count of invoices accross a few months with a filter per product. Easy enough.
Next I get lost: I need to show a mean of the count of invoices accross all the months. It's easy enough to enter a fixed number, but then it doesn't change as I filter per product.
For all I have:
| February | 13519 |
| April | 15370 |
| January | 14046 |
| March | 15656 |
| May | 14810 |
So the mean is 14680
Then if I filter to product X I get
| February | 291 |
| April | 286 |
| January | 271 |
| March | 271 |
| May | 260 |
With mean 276.
So how do I get my graphs to show a horizontal line of the mean that changes as I filter by product?
The next line is the same concept, but the formula is LCL=Mean-(3*StandardDev)
Does anyone know how to create these lines on a line graph?
I also wan't to show all the products with associated revenue on a bar graph, then sort it by amount of revenue so it shows the best performers first.

There's no dynamic reference line feature, you can vote for this idea. So far you can apply a workaround with a measure. To get the second LCL formula, you can tweak the measure accordingly.
avg ref line = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(sales[sales]),ALL(sales[date]))

Thank you for the response. I tried your formula but unfortunately it returns a 0 value.
I have voted for the feature.
