Hi deepakkhairnar,

 

Currently, measures can be dragged to value or tooltips field, but can’t be dragged to legend or X-axis field in a bar chart.

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...

Greg, your solution for using a Disconnected Table is great. My issue is that I want to put a numeric value measure on the X-axis of a line chart. Obviously, I can't create a Disconnected table with thousands of dynamic values. Do you know how to deal with this kind of problem? Thanks!
