Tried creating Measures using the DAX SELECTEDVALUE function. If I must use a filter, will this adversely affect performance? How would I create a Measure that returns a field value for the current row in my flat table when aggregated on a Power BI scatter chart?

Not work because the aggregate takes the MAX of the entire table. I have tried a calculated column based on MAX(,0). The question is: How do I create a Measure that, when aggregated, When I add Play Date to the visual as the Play Axis, I get the following error: However, I would like to use the Play Date column as the Play axis and animate the measured hourly values over the date range. I can probably create hourly box plots from this data by adding an R visualization. I can get a basic dot plot using the Power BI over all days by setting the scatter chart X and Y to the unsummarized fields. I would like to do a scatter chart where: We will accomplish this by creating a measure called LinearLog in our marsdata table.I have the following data in a flat table with unsummarized data.Įach row in the flat table describes a unique data value collected for a given date and hour of the day. To make Power BI switch from a Log scale to a Linear scale, you need to force the visualization display a zero or negative value and revert to a linear axis. This time we will turn “Multiple selection” off and “Forced selection” on in the Chiclet Slicer’s options to achieve toggle functionality. We then place another Chiclet Slicer on the canvas and associate it with the ScaleType item. Since this will be a two item slicer acting as a toggle, we will create the table by using the “Enter Data” activity off of the “Home” tab. Create a measure in our main data table (marsweather) that changes based on a slicer selection.Add a slicer and associate the values from the new table.Create a table with the values that will be used in a slicer.To implement this we took an approach similar to the dynamic slicer in the first post: To achieve the result we want, we will add another IF condition to the DAX for when the sum of the “ls” value is zero. SunAngle = IF(CONTAINS(GraphLines,GraphLines,"ls"),sum(marsweather),BLANK()) Previously, the DAX for the SunAngle measure was: In order to support a Log axis, we will need to alter the value of SunAngle to “BLANK” when it hits 0. But even with all of the temperature values above zero, the SunAngle value (abbreviated as “ls” in our data table) would still hit zero once a Martian year. We mentioned in the previous post that we converted the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin to avoid zero and negative values for this reason. The axis options for: (a) a supported log axis, (b) a previously log supported but automatic change to linear axis, and (c) a non-log supported axis are shown below respectively. If you selected the “Log” scale and the data in the visualization later changed to contain a zero or negative value, the axis property will have an icon alerting you to an automatic linear scale axis conversion. If a zero or negative value is present on an axis based visualization, Power BI will not display “Log” as a Scale Type option. It is because Power BI only supports logarithmic axes for values greater than zero. If you followed these steps and did not see “Log” as an option, it is not because we like pulling our readers’ legs. Select “Log” from the scale type drop-down.Select the visualization and in the Visualizations tab go to the Format Options.To change a visualization’s axis to logarithmic scale: This is what our Mars Power BI Report looked like after our first post:Īs of this blog post’s publication (the St Louis Blues just won their 1st Stanley Cup and Canada has their 1st NBA Championship) Power BI supports logarithmic axes…sort of. We recommend downloading the PBIX files and viewing them in Power BI Desktop. “Publish to Web” reports are much slower than reports you would see in a real Power BI environment.
