Compare Current Period and Previous Period in Line Chart

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am using a slicer with the Switch function to compare the current period and previous period on a line chart.

As you can see there are two slicers here, one contains the measure for the current period and one contains the measure for the previous period.

How can these be combined so the user can see the current period and previous period from one slicer? Ideally, the user clicks on "New Visitor Percent" and the current and previous period show up in the line chart. Same for "Total New Visitor" and the rest of the metrics.

Thank you very much for any help or suggestions.

Terrible response, Rena. Be a problem solver. 

You said "send us your files and maybe we'll check later..." Total waste of bandwidth.

@Anonymous , Assuming you need two-line using one slicer?

The create two-measures using the same value  from slicer

Measure = Use value from slicer select your traffic trend and display the current year measure

Measure LY = Use the value from slicer select your traffic trend and display the last year measure

Hi,

I am not sure I completely understand how to do this and I am not sure if I was clear enough with my initial request. The ideal situation is to use one slicer that will display the current period and previous period's total visitors, total new visitors, total page views, and total new visitor percent on the line chart. Everything is working now, but I have to use separate slicers, one for the current period and one for the previous period. Is there a way to combine the measure for the current period and the measure for the previous period into one slicer? To try to illustrate what I am saying I included a photo

Hi @Anonymous ，

I'm afraid that there is no good way to achieve the needs you want. Maybe you can share your sample files with us, and later we will check if there is any other alternative that can achieve similar needs. Thank you.

Best Regards
