Dynamic legend using a DAX measure

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

Details:

I am using a Clustered Column Chart to show Total sales by geographic area. The data looks like this:

GEO	Total Sales	Sales  Complete	Sales Pending
Americas	10,000,000	5,000,000	5,000,000
ASIA	12,000,000	6,000,000	6,000,000
EMEA	14,000,000	7,000,000	7,000,000

Desired outcome: 

I want to use the Clustered Column Chart to show Sales Complete & Sales Pending next to each other with the axis showing by Geo. 

The Problem:

Currently I am connected to a data cube using a live connection so I cannot create a DAX table to create a category filter.

Question:

How can I create a legend using a DAX measure that will give me the desired outcome given I am using a live connection?

Thank you!

@Anonymous Yeah, the usual way of doing this is the disconnected table trick:

In general, to use a measure in that way, you need to use the Disconnected Table Trick as this article demonstrates: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Solving-Attendance-with-the-Disconnected-Table-Trick/ba-p/279563

I cannot enter data, I am on a live connection so this option is not given

Hi, @Anonymous 

Unfortunately, you cannot apply the created measure to the visual legend , and  Live connection does not support the creation of calculated columns and tables.

We suggest you to modify the original model by adding a category table.

@v-easonf-msft can you elabrate more on adding a category table, what exactly do you mean?

Hi, @Anonymous 

The table used to create the category filter should be created in advance when building the LC model, not after the model is connected using powerbi.
