Hello all,

I have a multiple answer question and I want to make a bar visual which is something I know how to do. What I want is to show only options that have 3% higher and show other option instead of these options that are below 3% and show a small hint underneath thus bar saying other options include 1, 3 blah blah... can you please help!

 

 

Regards, Hanna

hi @Hjameelaq ,

 

supposing you have two columns: answer and percentage, try to plot the barchart with two calculated columns:

 

answer2 =

IF([percentage]>=0.03, [answer], "Others")

 

Percentage2 =

IF(

    [answer]=[answer2], 

    [percentage], 

    SUMX(

        FILTER(data, data[answer2]="Others"),

        data(percentage)

    )

)
