    Your scenario is still confusing me. Maybe you're looking for something as below?

     


    1. Unpivot the table.
    2. Split the Product column by dot.
    3. Rename the column properly.

    In report window, to avoid confusion, instead of individual pie charts, use one chart with slicer. Create a measure Product Indicator and show it in a Card visual.

    Product Indicator = IF(ISFILTERED('Table'[Product]),LASTNONBLANK('Table'[Product],""),"all product")

Hi,

 

I am looking for maybe, a similar solution..... 

 

I have created certain measures like mSumPhaco, mSumSICS and mSumFreeCataract and have plotted it on clustered column chart. Obviously, name of the measures are appearing as legends. I wish to change the legends as per the image below. One way of doing so is ofcourse renaming the measures, but I do not want to do so.

Can that be achieved?

 

Thanks.

Hello deepvibha,

 

We discussed your question during the "Forum Aid" event of our user group.

 

 You can try adding a custom column with the following  if Text.Contains([ColumnName], "A") then "A" else "B"

    Thanks edejes2,

     

    I think I was not very clear in my question... here it is again - in a screenshot format:

     

    Being "Measures", there are no columns to be renamed with an "If" statement. 

     

    If I have got you wrong... pl. let me know in details how to achieve it with your solution.

     

    Thanks

      If you right click the measure you can re-name the measure, that will reflect in your legend. Likewise, you can add a custom legend accessing the setting of the visualization. 

      I am not clear when you said  that  " Without remaining the measures" you don't want the measure that you apply?.

        I'm not sure why there is so much confusion around this question. I too am trying to accomplish what a few others are in this thread.

         

        Simply, when you display a legend in a bar chart for example, the legend uses the name of the measures or columns. We wish to change the display name of the measures/columns in the Legend on the chart without renaming the actual measure/column. Power BI provides an option to give the Legend a title, but can you add a function so that we can change the display name for the measure/column?
