Hi @mwegener thank you for replying.  I used a measure as a value and the filtered (highlighted) values is higher than the actual value.  Would you be able to help me understand why this is happening or how I cn show only the actual value?

I am using 1 table that has a report_date and a maket value decimal I am using a pulse chart to show performance over time and a separate bar chart visual to highlight avg capital investment by quarter. 

My quarter column is:

yyyymm = 'dev table'[Report Date].[Year] & " " & 'dev table'[Report Date].[Quarter] 

and  my value measure is:

AvgCapital= DIVIDE('dev table'[capital],'dev table'[UnitQty],0)
