Measure that ignores the x-axis on a Line and Column Chart

[mamichna]

I'd like to display a measure of cost per total item count per month as the line on a line and column chart. The columns of my chart are the sum of all the costs per month, and I would like the line of my chart to be the measure.

I'm having trouble with the denominator of the measure (total item count). I'd like the denominator to include a number (that can be filtered using a slicer) of the whole item count versus the count of only items with cost during the month. The number I want displays on a card, but filters into the specific month when added to the chart.

Example:

January: Total Cost = $1000     Count of Items with Cost (monthly) = 50     Total Items in the Population (sliced by type) = 1000

February: Total Cost = $2000     Count of Items with Cost (monthly) = 70     Total Items in the Population (sliced by type) = 1000

The Result I'm getting:

January: $1000 (Total Cost) / 50 (Total Items with Cost in the month) = $20.00

February: $2000 (Total Cost) / 70 (Total Items with Cost in the month) = $28.57

The Result I want:

January: $1000 (Total Cost) / 1000 (Total Items in the population) = $1.00

February: $2000 (Total Cost) / 1000 (Total Items in the population) = $2.00

Is there a way to filter the item count as the sliced number that counts the total items while ignoring the monthly filter (x-axis) of the chart? I've tried writing the measure with the ALL DAX code and ALLEXCEPT(items, slicer column), but the item count is still filtered by date on the chart. I appreciate any help!

Hi @mamichna ,

We can use single relationship and create month column to meet your requirement.

1. Change the both direction to single direction.

2. Then we can create a month column in Cost table.

Month = FORMAT(Cost[Date_completed],"mmmm")

3. The result like this,

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

@mamichna , Can you share sample data and sample output in a table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

All should have worked

Like

calculate(count(Item[item]),all(Item]))

It would be better move item to a different table and join with item in your table so that impact of all is there on that table

@amitchandak, I included a link to a sample pbix that shows the issue and measure below. Thank you for helping!
