My bar graphs do not show the aggregation of sum

Ariba1_0-1695757043569.png

 

 

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?

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.

 

Thank you
