Measure that ignores filter from another visual

[BrianVT]

I have a page of visualizations that graph various attributes of FTEs.  Some of these visuals will be set to filter only the current year.  However, I will also have a line graph on the page to display the trend of multiple years, such that clicking on an attribute in another visual will interactively filter the trend for that specific attribute.  The problem is that the current year is also coming through as a filter to the line graph.  How do I create a measure for the line graph that will ignore the year filter, but keep the attribute filter from clicking on another visual?  CALCULATE and ALL does not work. 

i.e. FTEs = CALCULATE([Total Govt FTEs],ALL(FY_Lookup[Fiscal Year]))

That just sums up the FTEs across all years and displays that same sum for any FY that gets filtered.  I want my line graph to show all the years, and the correct sums for each indivdual year.

I also tried ALLCROSSFILTERED, and it did the same thing as ALL.

Thanks

I guess a workaround might be to use a slicer to set the visuals on the page to a certain year and have the trend graph set to not interact with that slicer?  I was hoping to not have a slicer displayed on this page, though.  I don't want anyone to ineract with that.  Can I hide it?

Hi @BrianVT ,

Maybe my .pbix file can help you.

If you want two visuals not to interact, then the fields of the two visuals need to come from two tables that are not related.

If this solution does not solve your problem, please provide sample data and screenshots of visuals. I need to know which fields your visuals use.

Thank you.  I need to keep them related, but that's a good solution.  I was hoping there was a way to do it within a measure.  For now, I'm going to go ahead and use a slicer on the page and have the line graph not interact with it.

@BrianVT , stop interaction between two visuals ?

@amitchandak  - Yes, but I don't want to stop all interaction - I want the interaction of the attribute that I click on to come through, but not the year filter that is set for that visual to come through.  Therefore, I think my measure needs to do it.
