Hi,
I am trying to have the user select any data variable for x and y axis to plot out of a large data set 'DataSet'.
The data set got mostly numbers but also strings so some will plot on a x/y scatter chart and some in column chart (but lets leave that alone)
I figures the best way of doing this is to create two new columns which will represent the x and y values. I am also having two unlinked slicers which users can select the variable names from another separate list 'Variable List'. I will be able to lookup the user selection with and expression such as SelectedValue('Variable List'[Column1]). So this is fine so fare.
The DAX expression for the two new columns would have sounded something like this if I could have used INDIRECT formula as in excel i.e. X-Axis-Data = DataSet [ Indirect ( SelectedValue('Variable List'[Column1]) ) ]
Now I know indirect does not work in Power BI but I figure there must be a way to make a DAX expression with a dynamic reference to another column.
Thanks in advance
