Hello,
I have a question about using the radar chart visualization.
I am not able to overlay data on a radar chart by using the slicer visualization. It is not showing any overlay but only the "first", "last" or count result.
My data looks like this:
I would like to overlay sample 1 or 2 or 3 or ..., depending on which I would like to see with category A till M as the "category".
| Category | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| A | 1 | 0.9 | 0.8 |
| B | 1.1 | 1 | 0.9 |
| C | 0.8 | 1.1 | 0.7 |
| D | 1.3 | 1.2 | 1.1 |
| E | 1.9 | 1.3 | 0.4 |
| F | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.3 |
| G | 0.5 | 1.5 | 0.6 |
| H | 0.9 | 1.6 | 1.1 |
| I | 1 | 1.5 | 1.6 |
| J | 1.4 | 1.8 | 1 |
| K | 2 | 1.9 | 1.8 |
| L | 2.1 | 0.8 | 1.9 |
| M | 1.3 | 0.8 | 0.7 |
Can somenody help me solve this?
Thanks

Hi @evertfeyaerts,
In your scenario, you may need to create different measures to calculate results for each Sample ID separately, then show all the measures as Y Axis on the Radar chart.
measure1 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Results]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Sample ID]="Sample 1"))
measure2 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Results]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Sample ID]="Sample 2"))
measure3 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Results]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Sample ID]="Sample 3"))
Here is the sample pbix file for your reference. ![]()

Hi @evertfeyaerts,
What column are you using as Slicer on your report?
Could you be more precisely with your issue by post some screenshots?
Regards
I am sorry, I added the wrong data. see below the correct data with some illustrations. The first picture of de radar chart gives me the data of 1 sample and the 2nd picture shows me a "count" of both data and not illustrated separately.
Thanks

Hello, I have a related question regarding the radar chart in PowerBI. I have a lot of different cases ( like in this example here sample 1, 2 and 3. I have like 100 different and want to avoid writing a measure for each individual one. Do you know a way to work around writing like a 100 measures and still have all "scenarios" visible on the radar chart? It is meant to be filtered, so there will only a few be visible at the same time.
Thank you in advance!
