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

Answer

Visualization of Logic for Focusing on a Single Organization in Power BI

Objective

  • Automatically highlight a specific organization within a published chart using a DAX measure, without manual user intervention through slicers.

Key Components

  1. Chart:

    • A visual representation of data for 42 organizations.
    • The aim is to highlight one specific organization.

  2. DAX Measure:

    • Used to create a logic that focuses on the predetermined organization.

  3. Data Model:

    • Contains information about organizations and associated metrics.

Logical Flow

Steps Overview

  1. Define a DAX measure to filter the data.
  2. Set up the chart to utilize the DAX measure for automatic highlighting.
  3. Ensure the measure respects the context in which it's used.

     V
Specify Organization Name (e.g., "Organization A")

     V
   Apply Measure to Chart

     V

     V
   End

Key DAX Measure Example

  • This example assumes you are highlighting "Organization A".
HighlightedMeasure = 
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Organizations[OrganizationName]) = "Organization A",
    SUM(Organizations[Metric]), 
    BLANK()
)

Annotations

  1. DAX Measure:

    • SELECTEDVALUE: Retrieves the currently selected value from the specified column.
    • IF Statement: Checks if the selected organization matches "Organization A".
    • If true, computes the total measure; if false, returns BLANK, thus effectively omitting others.

  2. Chart Setup:

    • Use the created measure in the chart data values to reflect the highlighting logic automatically.
    • Apply conditional formatting to show values for "Organization A" in green.

Conclusion

By implementing the above logic and DAX measure in Power BI, the user can achieve the desired functionality of highlighting a specific organization automatically, enhancing the clarity and focus of the chart without requiring manual input through slicers.
