Parameters - graph with multiple bars

I have a parameters list which looks like the following:


All these are from a table which has a month linked to a dim_date table, and shows like that:

Is it possible to change the graph like the following:
- is user chooses any variable except for turnover, then shows graph like below, if they choose Turnover, then show both turnover and plan vs actual variable?
The client also wants to see both variables (turnover and plan) so that a plan is a line graph and turnover a bar. And This is beyond me. Usually no problem, but not when parameters are involved

Chart Metrics parameters = {
    ("PLAN vs ACTUAL", NAMEOF('Ctable'[PLAN]), 0),
    ("TURNOVER", NAMEOF('Ctable'[TURNOVER]), 1),
    ("COSTS TOTAL", NAMEOF('Ctable'[COSTS TOTAL]), 2),
    ("EBIDTA", NAMEOF('Ctable'[EBIDTA - cashflow]), 3),
    ("CLIENTS", NAMEOF('Ctable'[CLIENTS - cashflow]), 4),
    ("LEADS", NAMEOF('Ctable'[LEADS - cashflow]), 5),
    ("ORDERS", NAMEOF('Ctable'[ORDERS - cashflow]), 6),
    ("AOV", NAMEOF('Ctable'[AOV - cashflow]), 7),
    ("ARPU", NAMEOF('Ctable'[ARPU - cashflow]), 8),
    ("MARGIN", NAMEOF('Ctable'[MARGIN - cashflow]), 9)
    
}

Hi @mazwro 

I have a few questions:
1. According to your description, if the user selects multiple parameters other than turnover, does it need to add up the results of these parameters?
2. When you say that you need to display turnover and plan, do you mean that they need to be displayed when you select the turnover parameter or do you need to display these two parameters regardless of any parameter selected?
Can you provide a picture of the result you want for reference?

 

Best Regards!

Hello @Anonymous 

I am not sure I understand the question, I will try to answer as well I can.

 

1. From the parameters, only one can be selected at one time, so user can pick from a list with metrics like AOV, Orders, users etc. I am wondering if it is possible to show Turnover only  as a chart with two bars: like screenshot below:, and the rest show as a simple bar chart with one bar the way it has been so far.

2. For this point, Only when I select turnover, I want to see turnover vs. plan. if any other parameter is selected, then only that selected mettric
