I have a table such as below in Power BI. I want to create a line chart that drills Animal-> Subcategory. I have Date in the x axis, Value in the y-axis and Animal in the legend field. I can add another field to the legend field. Does anybody know how I can do that?
I also have an Animal filter at the top, when selecting an animal, it would be nice if the chart would automatically update to show the subcategory
Date | Animal | Subcategory | Value |
---|---|---|---|
2024-01 | Cat | Siamese | 100 |
2024-01 | Cat | Persian | 150 |
2024-01 | Dog | Bulldog | 200 |
2024-01 | Dog | Beagle | 250 |
2024-01 | Bird | Parrot | 300 |
2024-02 | Bird | Sparrow | 350 |
This can be done using a Field Parameter. It will need to be enabled before it can be used. Steps to enable it can be found here.
Create a new Field Parameter and add Animal
and Subcategory
to it.
Add this new Field Parameter to the Legend of your visual. Use the autogenerated slicer to switch between Animal
and Subcategory
.
Subcategory Selected:
