How can I plot my DAX measure as a legend as well as values?

[HamidBee]

I am working with the following DAX:

Petrol or Diesel = 
VAR A =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        'Table',
        "Petrol or Diesel",
            IF (
                'Table'[Amount]=1,
                "Petrol",
                "Diesel"
            ))
    
RETURN
    MAXX ( A, [Petrol or Diesel] )

I am trying to plot a clustered column chart using the above DAX measure. When I drag it into values it plots but I can't drag it into legends inorder to create the seperate groups. I understand that it is a numerical value. Does anyone know a way to solve this issue?.

I would like to see two bars. One for Petrol and one for Diesel. Please find attached the file below:

Hi, @HamidBee 

What is your expected result roughly?
Do you want the legend to show the value of "A OR B" or the count of "A OR B" ?
Please share a sample file for further research.

Thank you for your reply. I have attached the file in the main question area above. I have also tried to provide more detail in terms of what it is that I am looking for.

Thanks

Hi, @HamidBee 

As you said, measure cannot be dragged into 'Axis' or 'Legend'.

You need to add a calculated column or add another calculated table as below:

Calculated column:

Petrol or Diese =
IF ( 'Table'[Amount] = 1, "Petrol", "Diesel" )

Calculated table:

Table 2 = ADDCOLUMNS (
        'Table',
        "Petrol or Diesel",
            IF (
                'Table'[Amount]=1,
                "Petrol",
                "Diesel"
            ))

This will allow you to drag the field 'Petrol or Diesel' into matrix to create the seperate groups.

@HamidBee , You can not drag the measure in legend

seem like you need dynamic segmentation
