Sum Columns based on Filter
I am using a visualization (sanka chart) that only allows one value but the chart compares time periods. I would like the user to be able to select which values are being used on the visualization by using a slicer.
Sample data would be:
| Customer | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Sum* |
| 1 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 70 |
| 2 | 100 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 180 |
I envisoned adding the column "Sum" above and using that for the value on my visualization. Then ideally having a slicer where the user can select which of the other columns are included in this, e.g., if they select just year 1 the visual shows values based on year 1 data, if they select year 2, just year 2 data etc. Is it possible to do something like this with a column who's data is derived from a variable combination of other columns based on a filter?
Hi jeggen ,
You said that your chart only allows one value and plan to create a column 'Sum' to display the data.I think I could use unpivot.
The Table data is shown below:
Please follow these steps:
1.Change table structure.
2.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure
Sum = SUM('Table'[Value])3.Final output
