Group values in column chart/bar chart

Hey All, I want to grop the blanks value to another bar. Is it possible? For example, I want that blanks will be counted with code 9. So blank will be removed from the chart and 9 will show 292 + 5...

    Hi Anonymous ,

    By my tests, the solution of parry2k should be helpful.

    I have made a test pbix to reproduce your scenario.

    In addition, you could have a reference of the attachment.

    Best  Regards,

    Cherry

Hey parry2k ,

Not accurate.

I am trying to map the codes to readable values. Sorry, I cannot write the real values due to sensetive data.

I am using numbers here just to ilustrate.

So, if code is 1, show text_1,

if code is 2, show text_2

...

if code is 9 or blank, show text_9

 

So the users can read the values and not guess what is the meaning of each code.

 

Ta!

Anonymous interesting, you can use switch statement, easy to work with

 

Switch ( Table[Code] ,
1, "Whatever text",
2, "Whatever text",
9, "text for 9",
"text for 9" --this will be final condition if nothing matches above and blank will fall here
)

    Although switch and if are the same, from logical perspective, I tried to use switch.
    I am still with the same results.
    New Code =
    SWITCH(Table[CODE],
    "1", "Text_1",
    "2", "Text_2",
    "3", "Text_3",
    "4", "Text_4",
    "9", "Text_9",
    "Text_9")


    For some reason Power BI is not catching these blanks. Not sure why though.

     

    Thanks!

      Anonymous can you share visual like before using with new code on x axis

       

      if possible, please share pbix, remove any sensitive information, we are surely missing something here.

        Hi parry2k 
        I tried to export to csv the data, but clearly it works there and the visual shows correctly.

        My original dataset is a Firebird DB.

        Not sure how to share the PBIX without revealing the data.

        Ta!
