Return Graph

Good morning,

I have a question, In my table I get a column with years in it (a year can occures plenty of times) and 10 measures which are associated to this column, (M1,....M10).

I would like to have a graph with my 10 measure in my x axis and the value of my measure by year as my values. I join a draw to show you what I expect.

But when I try to do it it gives me this and I don't achieve to modify it:

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

If you are using measures on your values you are not abble to get the result you need simply with the use of this measures and the year column.

 

Create a new table with all your measure names and and ID column something similar to:

ID MeasureName
1 Measure1
2 Measure2
... ...
10 Measure10

 

Now create the following measure:

Selection =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[MeasureName] ),
    1, [Measure1],
    2, [Measure2],
    ..., ...
    10, [Measure10]
)

 

Now make your line chart with the following setup:

  • Axis: MeasureName (Column)
  • Legend: Year (Column)
  • Values: Selection (Measure)

Should return expected values

@MFelix Thank you, I tried it but I can't put Year in the legend because is not in the same table so they ask me to manage the relashionship between the two tables. And I can't do it because it's doesn't exist any.

Have you have some idea?

Thank you

Can you share a sample of your data model, and how the measures are calculated?

@MFelix Yes sure, Thank you
my measures are like this
M1 = COUNTX(FILTER('Table',Table[Date2]=EDATE(Table[Date1],1)), Table[Date2])
M2 is the same except I have EDATE(Table[Date1],2)
M3 with EDATE(Table[Date1],3)....
With my following excel:
Thank you
Have a nice day
