Hi,
I have a container with 2 charts that are displayed based on a specific condition. At any given time, only one chart will be shown.
The first chart shows income vs expenses, shows the last 3 months based on the maximum date.
The second chart shows income vs forecasted income, the data displaying according to the selected period.
Both charts use the same dimension - Date.
Both charts are functioning and displaying accurate data.
I trying to "merge" them and add the condition to the measures.
The problem is that when I want to display "the first chart", it shows data of the second chart and only for the current month, while the others show 0.
This is one of the measures:
If(Count(distinct YearMonth) <> 1,
[Forecast], // chart 2
{<Date={">=$(v3Months_StartDate)<=$(v3Months_EndDate)"}, Year=, Quarter=, MonthID=>} [Expenses] // chart 1
) / 1000000
The condition refers to the number of selected months. Even though one month is selected (count(distinct YearMonth) = 1), the forecast is displaying instead of the expenses.
Why is this happening?
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Did you actually add count(distinct YearMonth) as a measure to confirm it gets 1?
If so, if you just use If(count(distinct YearMonth)>1, 'F','E'), does that work as expected?
Is [Forecast] valid for placing within an If() statement? Is [Expenses]?
Yes to all.
Each part of the measure works properly separately.
When connecting all together under If condition, it doesn't.
Quite odd, because given the context you've provided, I would expect it to always show expenses. Since you have Date as a dimension, I would expect Count(distinct YearMonth) placed within a measure to always return 1, since each date is associated with a single YearMonth (I think this would typically be Count(total Distinct YearMonth) to get the "expected" result). But this would explain the opposite outcome...
