How to DISPLAY all data values in the charts...not count, sum...

I just want to add some charts with the value that is in the cells of the columns. For example, if i have a column with this values

 

65

32

64

95

61

 

I want that my chart shows those values, not the sum of them, or to count them. Is it possible?

I was having the same issue, and found a work-around that works for me.  Not sure if it will work for everyone having this issue, but it may.   See my post here:

Just wanted to say, Perfectly summed up and nicely done on explaining the detail and the solution. Unfortunately I only came across this post now. It would have saved me a lot of time but I came to the exact same conclusion. And you know it is coming. But... i have an extra issue.

I have to also display the "text" labels on the graph. I have a simple example. Date value "mm dd" on x axis and need to show the actual time "hh:mm" value on the Y axis. Now before i get a lot of flack on my first post ever.. i solved the graph by calculating the time and taking it to seconds so it works the same as per your solution. (You need a decimal to summarise else you can only count values). Problem is and solution i am looking for is that how do i display the label as 17:55 and not numerical seconds calculated 456 (example figure). As the number of seconds is meaningless in this specific case.

I thought I would throw it out there. Maybe someone has a solution on DAX to keep the number value to still sum but "Cast" the label values.

Sorry for my long winded mail. Bad habit.
Open to anyone with an idea.

Thanks

You have to Select - Do Not Summarize

I don not have that option in the drop down menu.

Hi @xacalus,

 

   I think that the problem is that you're trying to change the type of aggregation in the visualization.

Maybe if you change it directly in the table's field you could be able to see the "Don't summarize" option.

Try this :

Let me know if it works for you.

Is very strange beacuse i don't have the option to choose, i don't know why???

 

You can read the option but i cannot change it, and it even says Do not Summarize. I'm lost here 😞

Try to change the "Data Type" into a "Whole Number". The "Default Summarization" will automatically changed to "Sum", and that should show what you are trying to achieve. It works fine for me, hope it helps.

Did you select the field in the Fields pane before trying to change the "Default Summarization"?

After you click on it, the "Modeling->Properties" Pane will be enabled, like this :

I have the same problem but this post does not fix it.

When I select the field it's default summarization is "don't summarize" and when I drag it to a the values list, it only can be count. Please advise

Are you using a Direct Query or Import?

 

What is the data type of the field you are trying to prevent summarization?
