Visual to make a Linechart clearer/ filter columns
Hi guys,
is it possible to filter the lines in Power Bi with a visual?
The lines in the line chart represent different locations (each line is a column). But as you can see it is very confusing, there is a visual with which I can quickly display only 2 or 3 lines. So I am looking for a more elegant solution than having to delete or add the columns one by one to the line chart.
greetings Lukas
Hi Anonymous ,
I have create a simple sample data for your reference. Here is my sample data:
First we need to create a new table that contains all value your want to show in legend:
Then use the column in the new table for legend of line chart and the following measure as Value of line chart:
measure = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[slicer]),"legend1",SUM('Table'[legend1]),"legend2",SUM('Table'[legend2]),"legend3",SUM('Table'[legend3]))Then you can use the slicer for controlling the legends you want to show:

Anonymous , If the line is because of legend, you can control it by a slicer .
Otherwise you have to create an independent table of all measure name and create all measures like
Projectvalue =
var _flag = countx(allselected(Measure), 'Measure'[Measure] in {"Project Value"})+0
return
if(_flag>0, sum(data[Project Value]), blank())
Forecast =
var _flag = countx(allselected(Measure), 'Measure'[Measure] in {"Forecasted Project Value"})+0
return
if(_flag>0, sum(data[Forecasted Project Value]), blank())Also refer

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Slicer-MTD-QTD-YTD-to-filter-dates-using-the-slicer/td-p/500115 So the link helped a bit but with this trick I can only show one line at a time. But it would be useful if you could display several lines at the same time to compare the different values.
Thanks a lot
