Scatter graph

Hi all,

 

I have a scatter graph showing the number of items per month going through governance. This works fine.

What I am trying to do is add an additional line which is the total, like a waterfall graph.

 

So items per month are between 1 and 5, but the total is 19, going down to 0 once everything has been through governance. Is this possible or do I need a different graph type?

If you use a Line and Stacked column Chart with a measure like this:

The DAX removes any items that happen on or before this month i.e keep future items only:

Total remaining =
CALCULATE(
    [Your Measure] --Measure to change filters
    ,ALLSELECTED(TableToUnfilter) --Remove all filters on table w/ date
    ,Table[DateColumn] > MAX(Table[DateColumn]) --All sales after current
    , Year(Table[DateColumn]) = YEAR(Max(Table[DateColumn]])--Same year
))+0 --Add 0 to keep line continuous, set line to stepped or smooth



We have a free video series on DAX that might help!

Hi @Danielwood ,

Do you have a screenshot of what you want it to look like?
At I guess you want to add a Constant Line under the analytics option in Visualizations tab.

This lets you reference a measure, on these you can remove the month filter:

The measure would look something like this:

Let me know if this was what you had in mind.
