I create a donut chart. Its legend used to be dynamic.
After doing some updates, it can't be dynamic now. For example, when only "Other" category is found, the legend should only displays "Other"; however, it still displays all the categories.
Do I miss something?
@Anonymous it is dynamic, not sure why it is not working for you, can you check data in show as a table of the visual and check if there is a value for other categories.

When I show it as a Table, it is:
I guess I find the cause: I've updated the DAX (for the measure) last week; when the # is Blank, then count it as 0...
So, the legend of donut will display all categories...
Thank you.
