Next Level display
Hi NimaiAhluwalia,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you lbendlin, for your inputs on this issue.
After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, I was able to reproduce the scenario, and it worked on my end. I have used it as sample data on my end and successfully implemented it.
Create NextLevelMeasure in the FactTable:
NextLevelMeasure =VAR SelectedLevel = SELECTEDVALUE('FactTable'[Level]) -- Get selected level
VAR NextLevels =
FILTER(
'MappingTable',
'MappingTable'[Parent Level] = SelectedLevel -- Find next levels for the selected level
)
VAR NextLevelNames = VALUES('MappingTable'[Next Level]) -- Get the names of next levels
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM('FactTable'[Amount]),
'FactTable'[Level] IN NextLevelNames -- Filter fact table to next levels
)
I am also including .pbix file for your better understanding, please have a look into it:

Thanks v-kpoloju-msft for coming back to me.
Thanks for replicating the output I believe the data which you created is not how I have in my system. Please find the attached for better view of the data.
Problem: Use-case 1
If I select cost of sales from the matrix visual the line chart should be filetered and give me the output as direct overheads, direct energy and Direct Labour only on the legend which will be calculated againt the amount.
Problem: Use-case 2
If I select direct overheads from the matrix visual the line chart should be filetered and give me the output as Level 2.7, Level 2.8 and Level 2.9 only on the legend which will be calculated againt the amount.
Problem: Use-case 3
If I select direct labour from the matrix visual the line chart should be filetered and give me the output as Level 2.4, Level 2.5 and Level 2.6 only on the legend which will be calculated againt the amount.
Expected solution 1 : When I select the cost of sales I should get the below image (currently I have manually generated the output to show the expected result)
Expected solution 2 : Likewise if I select Direct overheads I should see the below results.
In a nutshell whatever Level of data point I select from the matrix visual I must see the one below level of the data in the line chart. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Hello v-kpoloju-msft
Let me first appreciate and thank you for coming back to me with an updated solution, I believe you have got the right level of the data and the understanding of the desired output.
The solution needs to be in a single line visual, where if i select Level 1 from the matrix the lline visual should give me level 2 and if I select Level 2 the line visual should give me level 3 but in the same visual. So the legend needs to be dynamic I tried to use the logic which you sent in your previous reply but measure wont output multiple values it needs to be scalar. (Possible solution I am trying at my end: - Pivot the data and use some keys)
Hi NimaiAhluwalia,
Thanks for your patience! Since a measure cannot return multiple values for a legend, we need a different approach. Here are two effective ways to solve this:
Reshape Data Model : Transform the dataset so that Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 are stored in a single column rather than separate columns. This allows Power BI to filter dynamically and display the correct categories in the legend.
Alternative (Field Parameters): If reshaping data isn't possible, use a field parameter to switch between levels dynamically in the same visual. This allows users to toggle between levels but won’t create a fully dynamic legend.
Additionally, a disconnected table can be used as a slicer to help users control which level appears in the visual.
A community discussion on dynamic legends using Field Parameters might help:
Dynamic Legends using Field ParametersAlternatively, restructuring your data (pivoting) and using a disconnected table could also work.
