Measure: change the category name in a bar chart

[ambillate]

Hi, Good Day.

Is it possible or is there a measure to change the names of the category in a bar chart?

without making a new column. (cause I don't have the access for editing the data source)

Like this example:

Thank You in advance.

Hi @ambillate,

I assume your table structure looks something like this (a very simplified version) :

As you can´t use a measure to return a table of values (and therefore use it as X-Axis), unfortunately it´s currently not possible to shorten the category name in your case without editing the underlying data.

Did this answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

uh, so it's not possible. Thank You @Markus_Re  and also to you @Jihwan_Kim.. 🙂

Hi, @ambillate 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

Even you cannot access the original data source, I believe you can still change the columns' name in PBIX file.

Or, perhaps you can try to create a calculation-group and name each measure O, A, M, L. And then, you can pull the calculation-group to the X-Axis.
