Hi everyone,
Per the example below, I have the following table which displays the following columns:
You will notice above that each project has data for every Period.
I have a separate custom table (created in Power Query) which displays each distinct period. The Value column is the result of a measure which returns the associated value for each project per the relevant period.
Problem:
I have another column (Selected Period Value) which should return the associated value for the selected period in a slicer and selected project. This value should repeat across all rows. This is to allow me to run another separate calculation (Difference).
In PowerBI, I have attempted to use the SELECTEDVALUE function to return the selected period as a paramater in a measure. But this results in Blank data being returned.
Selected Period = SELECTEDVALUE('REF_Programme Financials Unpivot'[Sheet Number (Period)], BLANK())
Could anyone please advise how I should approach and resolve this?
Best regards,
AmiK
Solved! Go to Solution.
@imranamikhan , In such cases it better to have separate period table and use that.
As per me these two mesures should work
Value = SUM ( 'SP_XL_Programme Financials'[Current Authority] )
value selected = calculate([Values], filter(All(Period), Period[period] =selectedvalue(Period[period])))
then you can take diff
@amitchandak - There was an issue with my data model and the solution now works. Thank you
