Chart Legend Null Override Name Visual

Hi,

 

I have a chart with a legend based on numeric values (from -4 to +4) that contains also NULL values, but in the legend in the chart I would like to change the nullvalue in the legend with a string like "Not Available".

 

I tried to create a domain table with custom label but when I connect it to the model I get a many to many *:* relationship instead of a one to many 1:* relationship due to the null values I suppose.

 

Do you have any suggestion on how to do it?

 

Thanks,

Andrea 

  • Hi arimoldi 
    You can add a legend column to your table:

    Legend = SWITCH([category],
    -1,"-1",
    -2,"-2",
    -3,"-3",
    -4,"-4",
    1,"1",
    2,"2",
    3,"3",
    4,"4",
    "Not avalible")

    and sort the legend column to have this "Not Available". et the end of list

    Sort legend =
    SWITCH([category],
    -1,0,
    -2,1,
    -3,2,
    -4,3,
    1,4,
    2,5,
    3,6,
    4,7,
    8)
     

    result

    pbix is attached

    Hi arimoldi ,

     

    Hope all is going well.

     

    To reproduce your problem, I created a data table based on numeric values (from -4 to +4) that also contains NULL values:

     

    This is the visual representation of the chart under the original data.

     

    In order to achieve your needs and use "Not Available" to replace null values, I created a calculated column with the following syntax:

     

     

    Column = IF(ISBLANK([Num]),"Not Available",FORMAT([Num],"General Number"))

     

     

    After creating the calculated column, replace the field used to display the visual object with the created calculated column. The null value at this time will be replaced by "Not Available".

     

    PBIX attached.

     

    If you have any other questions or need my help, please feel free to contact me.

      Hi,

       

      thanks for the solution.

       

      I tried to implement it, the new issue I get is that the legend cannot be ordered as a number (-4, -3, -2, -1, ...) but is orderered as a string (-4, +4, -3, +3, ...).

       

      Is it possible to order the values as number?

       

      Thanks,

      Andrea
