    Hi omi18

     

    Power BI is a aggregation tool.The way around this would be to create an index column in query editor to provide the uniqueness of rows.Then use the index column for legend. For example:

    Hi omi18,

     

    In your data image you have two filters on your data are those filters also present in the chart you are using? Do you have any categories that make the legend?

      Hello,

       

      No, There is no filter in the visualization. Each Year represents a different question ID. In the screenshot 106 ID belongs to Enroll 2014 Year. And I am Using enroll 2014 as a Value and Legend is blank.

       

      Best,

    Hi omi18

     

    This is due to Power BI being a aggregation tool.You may try to add Legend as category.It's better that if you could share some sample data which could reproduce your scenario and your desired output so that we could help further on it.
