Combine two line charts in one with two different Legenda items

[Power_BI_Adapt]

Dear All,

I have two (stapled) line charts, which I want to integrate in one chart.

* Chart 1: shows value development over time for three customer types, where classification 'False'

* Chart 2:  And I have a chart showing value development over time for a classification 'True' / 'False'. 

Here I would like to combine both charts in one chart (chart 2 on top of chart 1).

I tried to combine the fields 'Customer type' and 'Classified' as a legenda, but it seems this cannot be combined. Do one of you have a solution to fix?

Thanks!

Hi , @Power_BI_Adapt 

According to your description, you want to combine two line chart, like this:

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)We can click "New Table" and enter this:

Legand = UNION( VALUES('Table'[Customer type]) ,{"TOTAL"})

(2)Then we can create a measure :

Measure = var _cur_legand = SELECTEDVALUE('Legand'[Customer type])
return
IF(_cur_legand="TOTAL", SUM('Table'[Value]) , CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value]), TREATAS({_cur_legand},'Table'[Customer type])))

(3)Then we put the measure and the field we need on the visual and we get it:

Thanks a lot for your suggestion and it helps me a few steps ahead again. 

I simplified the data set in my request to one table with a few fields. In reality the field 'Value' is a measure . And a measure is behaving differently in the DAX formula.

In below part of the formula I get an error, saying it cannot find the table in which the measure is defined. (in beneath example table name is 'Table' and the measure is 'Value'

IF(_cur_legand="TOTAL", SUM('Table'[Value]) , CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value])

Any suggestio how to solve?

Thanks!

Hi, @Power_BI_Adapt 

Do you mean the [value] in your side is a measure?If the measure is complex, i think we need to use "var" define the paramter and then judge the situation according to your need.

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the [value]  in the formula is a measure. The measure itself is a simple measure, since it's a sum of a value in a table. How could a "var" formula look like in this case?

Thanks!

Hi , @Power_BI_Adapt 

If the value is a measure , i have two suggestion for you :
(1)We can make this value as a calculated column in table like a static value.

(2)We can use the summarize() dunction and addcolumns() function to create a virtual table , and then we calculate the value we want in logic.

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Thanks.

How would the VAR function of the first option look like?

Hi , @Power_BI_Adapt 

In the above sample .pbix file , i create a measure to test:

Value Measure = SUM('Table'[Value])

Then we can create a measure like this:

Measure = var _cur_legand = SELECTEDVALUE('Legand'[Customer type])
var _cur_month = MAX('Table'[Month])
var _t = SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table') , 'Table'[Classified],'Table'[Customer type] , 'Table'[Month] , "Value",[Value Measure])
var _total  =SUMX( FILTER(_t , [Month] = _cur_month),[Value])
var _type =SUMX( FILTER(_t , [Customer type] = _cur_legand && [Month] = _cur_month) , [Value])
return
IF(_cur_legand="TOTAL", _total ,_type)

Then we can also get the visual like this:

Thanks, the good news is that I am able to reproduce the new measures. However I am still struggling with the field 'Classified'. The total line should only show the records of the field 'Classified' with a value 'True' (currently it shows both True and False). When I use the filter for this, also customer types A, B  and C will show values 'True' (which is wrong, since for these customer types A, B, and C they should show both True and False).

Here the customer type 'Total' should not be a sum of values of customer types A, B and C, but just showing the total value per month of Classified as True.

Thanks in advance for any other suggestion.

Hi, @Power_BI_Adapt 

According to your description, you want the total just show the [Classfied]= True?

If this , you can add the filter logic in dax:

Measure = var _cur_legand = SELECTEDVALUE('Legand'[Customer type])
var _cur_month = MAX('Table'[Month])
var _t = SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table') , 'Table'[Classified],'Table'[Customer type] , 'Table'[Month] , "Value",[Value Measure])
var _total  =SUMX( FILTER(_t , [Month] = _cur_month && [Classified]=TRUE()),[Value])
var _type =SUMX( FILTER(_t , [Customer type] = _cur_legand && [Month] = _cur_month) , [Value])
return
IF(_cur_legand="TOTAL", _total ,_type)

The result is as follows:
