How to select columns to visualize using a slicer or drop down?

[Anonymous]

I have a time series table with multiple columns (each a time serie):

time, col1,col2,col3

00:00, val, val, val

01:00, val, val, val

02:00, val, val, val

...

now I want to have a single line graph that shows each column individually based on the selection from a drop-down (slicer). I couldn't figure out how, show I make measures? but it doesn't make sense

Hi @Anonymous ,

 I created a sample pbix file(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want.

1. Unpivot all colxx columns

2. Create a slicer with Attribute field and a matrix as below screenshot

If the above one is not what you want, please provide your expected result with samples and screenshots. Thank you.

Best Regards

@Anonymous , I think you are looking for a measure slicer.

Please find documents on measure slicer
