when I select these 3 bars it doesn't show me the total sum. But in Tableau when I do that it adds up and show me the sum. How can I do that in PowerBi?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Ariba1 ,
As @ChiragGarg2512 said, you can create a measure.
Total = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),ALLSELECTED('Table'))
You can place this measure on a card visual object.
Or you can use a slicer. Then turn on "custom label" on the bar chart visual object.
Please refer to my pbix file. page1 and page2.

@Ariba1 , After applying the values in a column chart, right click on y-axis parameter and apply sum. If that doesn't solve the problem create a measure [measure = sum(`y-axis parameter`)].
For any other issue send an image of how does the graph look in pbi.
