Comparing data in differents period of time at same line chart

[Muertepelá]

Dear all, 

I am strugguling to compare different periods of time. 

I would like compare values from different periods of time, in order to visualize esaier, I would like use a line chart adn for each period of time share the same origin at the line chart. 

Any idea how could I do it?

I put a picture to shown the idea. In the picture there are 6 cycles that I would like put all together in a line chart , with the same origin at X axis.

Any idea or solution , it will be apreciated. 

Regards

The original data table is something like this:

Time	Value
30/09/2014 0:00	0,15021051
01/10/2014 0:00	0,15194218
02/10/2014 0:00	0,16627039
03/10/2014 0:00	0,15699187

@Muertepelá , You can plot two-period together on a line chart, for that the compared period should be trailing measure.

Like you can plot a YTD and LYTD where LYTD will appear on the same range as you YTD. Or you can have a trailing measures. This measure can 1 day, 1month 5 days , 7 days , 1 year, 2 years behind. You can configure and will appear along with your main measure. This work beast with a date calendar

Examples

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
This Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD((ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date])),"12/31"))

Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
Last YTD complete Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Year + 3 week behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),-21,Day))
55 weeks behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],365+12,Day))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Hi @Muertepelá ,

If say, you want to compare the lines by year, you can put year to the legend field and remove it from x-axis.

You need a date table, then you drop the Year into the X Axis and it will allow you to see the months overlapping. Date tables are explained here. Instructions for creating a date table in Power Query can be found here. That date table will automatgically expand as your data does.

If you need additional help, we'd need some data, preferably a PBIX file to pay with that has dummy data in it.
