Merging Two Cumulative Lines

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have two measures -

Actual Cumulative Cost = CALCULATE(SUM('K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost]),FILTER(ALL('K:01303 (Combined)'),'K:01303 (Combined)'[Month]<=MAX('K:01303 (Combined)'[Month])&&'K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost Type]="Actual Cost"))

Forecasted Cumulative Cost = CALCULATE(SUM('K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost]),FILTER(ALL('K:01303 (Combined)'),'K:01303 (Combined)'[Month]<=MAX('K:01303 (Combined)'[Month])&&'K:01303 (Combined)'[Cost Type]="Forecast"))

I have the original cost values set up where the Forecast costs show as 0 if they are posted before today's date. I've highlighted what I'd like to stay. The 2nd chart is from Excel and shows how I would like it to look. Is there a simple way to combine these while hiding the non-highlighted part?

Also, since the measures are created in DAX, any additional changes, I assume, would also have to be in DAX and not an m-formula. 

Thanks,

Robyn

@Anonymous , try like

if(not(isblank([Forecasted Cumulative Cost])),[Forecasted Cumulative Cost]+[Actual Cumulative Cost],[Actual Cumulative Cost])

@amitchandak I get an error "Model object names must be non-empty". Not sure what this means but I don't believe any of my values are blank.

@Anonymous , try like

if([Forecasted Cumulative Cost])<>0,[Forecasted Cumulative Cost]+[Actual Cumulative Cost],[Actual Cumulative Cost])

@amitchandak This works. Thank you! Now I just need to find a visual that lets me define the series by both column and line. Thank you!

I would have thought just making a measure adding the two things together would work...

@jthomson  I guess technically that would work, but wouldn't I lose the cost type/color variance if they became one value?
