Overlaying two graphs

Hi,

 

I have a scenario where i have an order date and a quote date - the date includes both month and year.

I have count and total price associated with each.

I'm looking to compare data by month and filter by year. 

 

i believe the x axis can be the month and is a common denominator. I'd like to graph sales vs month and quotes vs month though.

is there a way to arrange my data and graph both sales and quotes data on one graph?

 

 

2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

Piggy backing on this to give @BI101 a more usable context:

Set up 2 relationships between your Calendar table and your data table.  One relationship will need to be made inactive. 

 

These relationships should be between something like 'Calendar'[Date] and 'Yourdata'[Order Date] as well as 'Calendar'[Date] and 'Yourdata'[Quote Date].  Lets assume you make "Order Date" the active relationship

Next you'll have a measure like:

Order Count = COUNTROWS('Yourdata')
Quote Count = CALCULATE(
    [Order Count],
    USERELATIONSHIP('Calendar'[Date], 'Yourdata'[Quote Date])
)

Hi, @BI101 

Thanks @lbendlin and @RossEdwards , I have the following additions. According to your description, you can use a chart like Line chart or line and stacked column chart, as shown below:

Place your sales field on the Y-axis and your quotes field on the Second Y-axis. Through this type of chart, you can clearly see the comparison of sales or quotes in each month. The following is a case with the same problem as yours:

Consider employing USERELATIONSHIP for this.
