Graphing multiple Expressions for multiple selections on a Dimension.

Is there a way to chart multiple expression that share the same dimensions for multiple selections without resorting to overlay charts?  For example my dimensions are SYS_DATE and SYSTEM with an Expression of (AVG_DAILY_BUSY).   With one expression I can select 1 or multiple SYSTEMs and each will get its own line on the chart.  With the addition of a second expression (MAX_HOURLY_BUSY) when I select a System it charts both expressions for the SYSTEM dimension, but one can no longer chart multiple systems, in fact selecting multiple systems now results in a blank chart.

With one expression:

With two expressions one dimesion selected:

With two expresions multiple dimensions selected:

What I really want is to be able to select one to multiple Systems and chart both expressions for all selected.  I know I can do this with overlays, but thinking there is a much more elegant solution here?

Another way,

Two overlayed line graphs, each one with one expression.,the top one, with transparente background and hidden axes

Hi Clever, That is exactly what I was trying to avoid....read original thread.  I am hoping there is a far more elegant solution in QV for this problem      It can easily be accomplished with Excel and also Tableau.....

Hello Dariusz, I like it!   Absolutly Brilliant!!!!   It worked  

You solution was definitely elegant, but seems to me that QV should have a more straightforward way of handling this scenario.

Anyway, many thanks!!!
