Hello everyone,
I am trying to create a stacked column chart with a legend that can be changed via a slicer.
In Tableau it is very easy to do: I create a calculated field where I say "CASE parameterLegend when "SHOP", [Shop]
when "Market", [Market], etc..
Basically I tell my calculated field to take the values of the column shop if my parameter for my legend is equal to shop and so on.
I wanted to do the same thing in PBI: create a custom column where the values inside would take the values of the column i want to use as a legend.
However i cannot find a way to do this...
I have tried to illustrate what I want to do in the image below.
Thanks a lot for the help!

@parry2k I am looking at a dynamic Legend (the colors), not the X axis which is fixed (or Y axis for that matter).
@dreyz64 no idea what you mean?

@parry2k I have a stacked column chart.
In the stack column chart you can add a column to the 'Legend' section.
This will separate each bar in colors according to the values of the column put in legend.
Like so:
What I want to do now is that the field i put in the "legend' section to change based on a slicer selection.
Hi dreyz64, I have the same requirement, did you sort it out ?
I reformulate here:
How to dynamically change the way stack chart is stacked according to a slicer selection ?
I want to change the stacking dimension (called "Legend" in tack column visualization) according to a slicer selection. For instance: stack a sales fact table, "by state" or "by product category" or "by client type"...according to a slicer selection !
Thanks for your help!
