Prompt

i have a published chart that has 42 organisations, however i want the chart to focus on one organisation highlighted in green instead of dragging the slicer
i am using dax measure in powerbi desktop
i dont want the user to dragg the slicer to the organisation but an automatic process for the chart to focus on the organisation name
I want the chart automatically to show the orgnisation on the chart ie visible instead of dragging the slicer to the organisation position
i dont understand this i have already a dax measure for the chart field i want to ensure the chart visibility automatically shows the organisation. currently i need to drag the slicer to the organisation name Implement Measure in Power BI Visual

Set the chart's values to the HighlightedMeasure.
Ensure conditional formatting is applied to highlight in green:
Format chart to visually distinguish the target organization through conditional formatting rules based on the measure's outcome. my dax measure for the chart that shows 42 organisations Implement Measure in Power BI Visual

Set the chart's values to the HighlightedMeasure.
Ensure conditional formatting is applied to highlight in green:
Format chart to visually distinguish the target organization through conditional formatting rules based on the measure's outcome.
i dont understand, i want the chart to show all 42 organisations but ensure the organisation name A is highlighted in green ie the slicer move to show the organisation HighlightedMeasure = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Organizations[Name] ) = "Target Organization Name", 
    [Some Metric], 
    BLANK()
)
this is the current dax i am using for the chart field Opido1_ICB = CALCULATE(
    SUM(Fact_Opiod1_ICB[Patients receiving opioid pain medicines per 1,000 patients]),
      
    DatesCalendar[MonthnYear]) as mentioned i want the chart automatically to show organisation A in green without the user dragging the slicer

Answer

Visualization of Logic for Automatically Highlighting an Organization in Power BI

Objective

To design a visual representation that captures the logic of automatically highlighting a specific organization within a chart in Power BI without requiring user interaction with a slicer.

Provided DAX Measures

Current DAX Measure for Chart

HighlightedMeasure = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Organizations[Name] ) = "Target Organization Name", 
    [Some Metric], 
    BLANK()
)

Opido1_ICB = CALCULATE(
    SUM(Fact_Opiod1_ICB[Patients receiving opioid pain medicines per 1,000 patients]),
    DatesCalendar[MonthnYear]
)

Explanation of DAX Measures

  1. HighlightedMeasure:

    • Checks if the selected organization is the "Target Organization Name".
    • If true, it displays a metric; otherwise, it returns a blank value.

  2. Opido1_ICB:

    • Calculates the sum of patients receiving opioid pain medicines per 1,000 patients for a given month and year.

Intended Functionality

  1. Display All Organizations: The chart must display all 42 organizations.
  2. Highlight Specific Organization: The specified organization (e.g., "Organization A") should be highlighted in green based on the HighlightedMeasure.

Key Components

  • Start: Initiates the process.
  • Load Data: Imports necessary data from the model.
  • Define Measures:
    • Create HighlightedMeasure for organization targeting.
    • Calculate Opido1_ICB for metrics.
  • Set Chart Values: Use Opido1_ICB as the main data source for the chart.
  • Apply Conditional Formatting: Define rules to highlight the target organization in green.
  • Display All Organizations in Chart: Ensure visibility for all entities.
  • Check Highlighted Measure: Evaluate the HighlightedMeasure for each organization.
  • Show Organization A in Green: Highlight "Organization A" with the conditional formatting.

Implementation Steps

  1. Create and validate the DAX measures as outlined.
  2. Set the chart to draw from the Opido1_ICB measure.
  3. Implement conditional formatting in the Power BI visual using:
    • Color coding based on the output of HighlightedMeasure.
    • Green for the organization you want to highlight; other organizations remain in the default color.
  4. Test the chart to ensure that upon loading, it automatically highlights the designated organization.

Conclusion

This structured approach provides a clear, systematic way of achieving the goal in Power BI. By leveraging DAX measures combined with conditional formatting, user interaction with slicers can be eliminated, providing a seamless visualization experience.
