Variable values fields required in column chart

Hi,

I want to have variable value fields in column chart instead of fixing them. For example, I have overtime data of cost and hrs.

 

I want to create ONE single clustered column chart where month should be in x-axis (fixed) and in values area I want variable values.

Like if I click on a button / slicer for overtime cost, the column chart should give me cost and if I select overtime Hrs, i t should show Hrs.

ONE CHART FOR TWO FIELDS (COST & HRS)

 

Please see my sample data and advise.

Imran

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

You may create a table and a measure as below.
Table:

Measure:

Result = 
IF(
    ISFILTERED('Table'[Category]),
    IF(
        SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Category])="Cost",
        SUM(Overtime[Overtime Cost]),
        IF(
            SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Category])="Hrs",
            SUM('Overtime'[Overtime Hrs])
        )
    )
)

 

Result:

I saw the post you share but actually this is not the case I am looking for. I need to have;

fix "x-axis" -- that is month, and;

variable "y-axis" --that is either cost or Hrs

 

Both cost and hrs are two seprate columns of my table. What is the solution of this problem.

 

Regards,
