Sparklines

DAX measures to create SVG images for use in matrix or table visuals

Area Sparkline

// Line and area colours - use %23 instead of # for Firefox compatibility (Measure Derived from Eldersveld Modified by Kolosko)

// "Date" field used in this example along the X axis
VAR XMinDate = MIN(financials[Date])
VAR XMaxDate = MAX(financials[Date])

// Obtain overall min and overall max measure values when evaluated for each date
VAR YMinValue = MINX(Values(financials[Date]),CALCULATE([SUM Gross Sales]))
VAR YMaxValue = MAXX(Values(financials[Date]),CALCULATE([SUM Gross Sales]))

// Build table of X & Y coordinates and fit to 50 x 150 viewbox
VAR SparklineTable = ADDCOLUMNS(
    SUMMARIZE('financials',financials[Date]),
        "X",INT(150 * DIVIDE(financials[Date] - XMinDate, XMaxDate - XMinDate)),
        "Y",INT(50 * DIVIDE([SUM Gross Sales] - YMinValue,YMaxValue - YMinValue)))

// Concatenate X & Y coordinates to build the sparkline
VAR Lines = CONCATENATEX(SparklineTable,[X] & "," & 50-[Y]," ", financials[Date])

// Add to SVG, and verify Data Category is set to Image URL for this measure
VAR SVGImageURL = IF(HASONEVALUE(financials[Country]),
    "data:image/svg+xml;utf8," & 
    "<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' x='0px' y='0px' viewBox='0 0 150 50'>" &
