Don’t summarize but keeps making sum in graph

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the summarization.

Despite I have specified ‘don’t summarize’ in the column tools, Power BI keeps making the sum of the variables. I just don’t want the sum, I need the raw value to be represented on the Pie Chart and in the Cards but Idon't know how to fix it. What I’m doing wrong?

Sorry for the language that is set in Catalan, I also don’t know how to change it...

Some translation:

Suma= SUM

Cap càlcul= No calculation

No ho resumeixis= Don't summarize

 

 

If anyone can help me, I would be so grateful.

 

Thank you so much in advance.

@Gems A, right, you just have to double click the value in the field well and rename it. Sorry, I wasn't following before.

@Gems Try Maxim or Minim? Maybe put something in your Legend? Since multiple rows are involved, there has to be an aggregation. What are you trying to show? As in, what number from that column do you want in the visual?

In the visuals appears 'Sum of variable X', I don't want the word 'sum' to appear because it's not a sum, its simply the variable whith no calculations. 

Here the visuals:

And here the Data View:

The values on the visuals are correct but I want to remove the word 'sum of' because it's confusing and it is not a sum.

 

Thank you so much again. 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

I've solved it!

 

Thank you so much!!
