Only have dynamic MIN and MAX date datapoints on line chart

[PMeadows]

Hello,

I have a problem where I am trying to only show the MIN and MAX date points on a line chart. The MAX date will dynamically change with a slicer from another column so I can't use a static RANX on a calculated column.

Here's a visual of my problem.

As you can see there are loads of 0 values. I am looking to get a straight line from the first point to a dynamic last point based on a slicer.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this with measures?

Thanks a lot,
Pete

Hi @PMeadows ,

Please create a new measure like:

Measure = 
VAR __first_noblank_date = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Date],[YourMeasureName]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Legend Field]))
VAR __last_noblank_date = CALCULATE(LASTNONBLANK('Date'[Date],[YourMeasureName]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Legend Field]))
VAR __first_noblank_value = CALCULATE([YourMeasureName],'Date'[Date]=__first_noblank_date)
VAR __last_noblank_value = CALCULATE([YourMeasureName],'Date'[Date]=__last_noblank_date)
VAR __result = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date]),__first_noblank_date,__first_noblank_value,__last_noblank_date,__last_noblank_value)
RETURN
__result

output:
