I have a Line and Stacked Column chart to which I want to add a "Grand Total" label at the top as the sum of the components in the stack.
I'd like to create a measure that sums the values in the Total column (in the data shown at the bottom of the screenshot) as "Grand Total" so that it can be applied to the chart. I've had no luck using the SUM and SUMMARIZE functions so far.
Suggestions to achieve this are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
There's not a built-in way to do this at the moment but there are workarounds.
The idea is to use the combo Line and Stacked Column Chart and put the total as the line value and then hide the line.
Radacad explains it in more detail here:
Showing the Total Value in Stacked Column Chart in Power BI
To get a grand total across all of the divisions, you can adjust your filter context as follows:
GrandTotal =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( CapExOpExNew[Total] ), ALL ( CapExOpExNew[Funding Division] ) )

I have a "Line and clustered column chart" in Power BI where the bars are actual values and line is budgeted values. Actual and budgeted values often vary enough that their Y axis scaling doesn't match, so I need both axes to have the same scale. Start value for both could be zero, but End needs to be calculated. We need to dynamically calculate End based on the visible data within the chart. My approach so far has been to create a measure that calculates the highest monthly actual value and another measure that calculates the highest monthly budget value, then take that max of those two measures and use it in a function for the "End" value of both Y axes. I have not found the DAX that works yet.
Example of y axes with different scaling and the max value we want
I suspect I'll need to get the min and max dates that are selected in the visual, and the following measures give me those:
MinSelectedDate = CALCULATE(MIN('Date'[CalendarDate]), ALLSELECTED('Date'))
MaxSelectedDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Date'[CalendarDate]), ALLSELECTED('Date'))
I also suspect I'll need to build a table within the measure and summarize the values then iterate over that table to find the max. Somthing like this:
MaxActual = MAXX(
SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('FactActualValues'), 'Date'[FirstDayOfMonth], "Volume", [Actual Values]),
[Actual Volumes]
)
However, when I try this DAX the data ends up being sliced by the month within each year. I'm using a matrix for dev/test.
Dev/test using matrix
The optimal solution is to have an analytical model with two columns (Date and FY).
Cancel dynamization of the table, setting the years to the "Year" column and converting it to Text type
Create the column "Month" from the month number of "MonthName" and convert to type Text
Create the date column of the format dd-mm-yyyyy from the concatenation using "01/"+[Month]+"/"+[Year]
Format the new date column to date format
The y-axis scale is resolved by the "Clustered Column Chart" visualization as it takes the maximum value of a single column of values plus some margin at the top and takes that as the y-axis value.
Got it! I was very close but didn't need to calculate min or max dates. Using ALLSELECTED gave me just the records from the FactActualValues table that I needed without applying an explicit filter. I also learned that some functions (e.g. - MAX) cannot "see" columns returned by table functions, but others like MAXX do support it. SUMMARIZE allows you to create a column and I learned that some people use the empty single quote to reference such a column.
Here's the DAX that works:
MaxMonthlyActual =
MAXX(
SUMMARIZE(
ALLSELECTED('FactActualValues'),
'Date'[FirstDayOfMonth],
"#ActVol", SUM('FactActualValues'[Total])
),
''[#ActVol]
)
Here is what the chart looks like using the DAX measure:
Chart with Y axes with matching scales
I am new to Power Bi. My manager asked me to illustrate the growth of the company with a stacked chart.
All is fine when i don't add legends to it (the different stores). But when i do this happens :
Broken chart
I want the orange part (Omega company) to also appear in 2022.(even though they made no benefits for that year)
What measure do I need to make this happen ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here's a simplified caption of what the excel file for the power bi report looks like.
Thank you !!
Excel sample
You can use the Quick measure "Running Total" to achieve that, but you need a separate "Dates" table that you can build as a calculated table via
Dates = GROUPBY('Table','Table'[Date])
and that you need to relate 1-to-many to your original table.
Now in the Quick measures UI for "Running total" you set the Base value to "Sum of Benefits" and the Field to "Date - Year"
With that measure "Benefits running total in Year" and your Excel sample data from above your Stacked column chart looks like this:
What does your measure look like?
If you have a relationship between your fact table and date dimension table, you can try something like this
Running Total Benefits =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Fact Table'[Benefits] ),
ALL ( 'Date Table' ),
'Date Table'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Date Table'[Date] )
)
Or use DATESBETWEEN function if they don't have relationship
I'm having an issue while trying to turn the labels of my stacked bar graph into percentage. The point is that the percent have to look up only for to the total of the column and not for the grand total as it does when we select "show value as" > "percentage of grand total"
I googled it, and tried to find some soluction on Microsoft Power BI forum but I couldn't find a soluction. The best that I found was creating the measure of the percent of total to put into the tooltip box so I can see the percentage in the lightbox that show informations of the bar when using the mouse. like this:
The total of the month 2020/05 is 67 and 17 is 25% of it.
The measure %_Total in Dax:
%_Total =
var Total = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Analise_Reativados[Id]),REMOVEFILTERS(Analise_Reativados[Compara_Meses (grupos)]))
var Clientes = DISTINCTCOUNT(Analise_Reativados[Id])
return Clientes/Total
where Analise_Reativados[Compara_Meses (grupos)] is a group that aggregates through a list.
It should be like this in the end:
But I don't know how to solve it :(.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!
In a Power BI Pie Chart total 8 legends(category) are there and count is distributed by category as shown in 1st pic. When I select Only June 2020 (2nd pic), there is data only for 5 category and accordingly it is distributed in Pie Chart. In both images, there are 8 legends are shown in right side.
Is it possible to hide the legend if there is no value for that legend. for example : in 2nd image, possible to hide remaining 3 legends and only shown legends for which data is there?
First create a measure using the following dax function:
Cross Filter = INT( NOT( ISEMPTY( FAC_TABLE ) ) )
Select your visualization, open the filter panel and drag the measure in the Filter on this visual option. Finally select the option equal to 1. The following image is in spanish but you will get the idea.
Hope it helps.
As suggested by Agustin I created below measure:
FilterMeasure = INT(NOT(ISEMPTY(Filter(TableName,TableName[Category]=TableName[Category]))))
and below is filter pan:
I am trying to get my head around DAX and am struggling. I have a PowerBI Matrix in which I need to calculate the average of a measure. The measure is '% of population' and on the surface it appears to work exactly as expected.
It calculates correctly in the top matrix for the two levels and also summarises correctly in the bottom table.
As an example, I have highlighted in red the order of calculations for "A3"
For the record the % population is set to
% of Population = sum(Data[Value])/sum('Level'[Population])
The problem occurs when I filter on the Country and only select Country 2...
Country 2 does not have data for "D13". Although the Values sum up correctly (170), the Sum of the Population includes the 300 from the missing D13 row making a total of 600 and the '% population' of 28.33% (instead of 170 / 300 = 57%)
I am happy to turn off the group totals in the top grid so that the 28.33 does not show; so my real problem is actually with the bottom grid.
I think I need a new measure to be displayed in the bottom grid. I think it simply needs to sum up the values and divide by the sum of the populations - but only when the value is present. How do I do that?
Or am I totally on the wrong track and there is an obvious answer that I am missing?
The PowerBI file can be downloaded from here
Thanks in advance.
The reason this is happening is that the Country table does not filter the Level table in the relationship diagram since they both only filter one way to the Data table and there are no other relationships.
Without changing your data model, one way to fix this in DAX is to specify that you only want to count Population where Level[LevelId] matches a Data[SecondLevelId] in your current filter context.
Population =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( Data[Value] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Level'[Population] ),
'Level'[LevelId] IN VALUES ( Data[SecondLevelId] )
)
)
