2022 Week 03 | Power BI: Can you visualize percent difference from a selected date?

Introduction

This week we are taking a page from the Tableau team and looking at how a metric has changed from the value at a specified reference date. 

Requirements

  1. Create a line chart showing percent change of the close price from a selected date. 
  2. Use a slicer or other visual to allow users to change the reference date. 
  3. Use conditional formatting to display the selected reference date in the title of the line chart. 
  4. Instead of a legend, display the series label at the end of each line. 
  5. Add a vertical reference line to the line chart that marks the selected reference date. 

Dataset

This week’s data comes from Yahoo Stocks API. We are using the data that Lorna collected and made available on Data.World
