Line Chart: Average of all Selected Lines during timestamp

Hello,

 

I tried to keep an average of all selected lines (during each timestamp) on my line chart. However, I don't think PowerBI allows me to keep this curve due to the way legends interact with the data. See below what I mean:

 

With the legend:

Without the legend:

In effect, I want the bottom curve (without the legend) overlayed with the top image's curves. Note, the curve without the legend will shift when I select/deselect the various legend values. I want this line to overlay with all unique legend values, and average the selected legend values when specified.

 

Hope this helps describe my issue in enough depth.

Hi @josh122398 ,

 

Here is my sample:

vjianbolimsft_1-1685090749552.png

Please try:

First create a new table like this:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Vc6xDcAwCETRXahdGDBJ2iRjWOy/hk1ko0txzZO+oHeSKkKF7jmu5CXlCTlQ3jmxLboqZZSo5CdRcUpblTWUqFRQorK8bvvDE+WrGkpUepH7AA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Year = _t, Legend = _t, Value = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Year", Int64.Type}, {"Legend", type text}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Legend"}),
    #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Removed Other Columns"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Duplicates", "Custom", each {_[Legend],"Average"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
    #"Expanded Custom"

Then build relationship between the two tables:

vjianbolimsft_5-1685091360350.png

Create a slicer:

vjianbolimsft_4-1685091348703.png

 

Apply the measure to the line chart:

Measure =
VAR _a =
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Legend] )
RETURN
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Legend[Custom] ) = "Average",
        CALCULATE (
            AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Value] ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Table' ),
                [Legend]
                    IN _a
                        && [Year] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] )
            )
        ),
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] )
    )
Measure =
VAR _a =
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Legend] )
RETURN
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Legend[Custom] ) = "Average",
        CALCULATE (
            AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Value] ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Table' ),
                [Legend]
                    IN _a
                        && [Year] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] )
            )
        ),
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] )
    )

Final output:
