Pie chart problem with labels

Hi! I'm having trouble with a pie chart graph. I have a set of defined categories but for one of them I get it represented in three different groups. I don't have any idea why this is happening.

Hi! i've found the solution to my problem.
The groups that I were using for my legend were generated in a calculated column.
The thing is that I also had a calculated column for sorting that groups. I updated the DAX measure to add more groups in between but I forgot to change my measure for sorting resulting in the problem mentioned.

Thanks for your time!

HI @Anonymous ,

 

Can you try displaying categorical labels along with labels on pie-chart?

See if it tells you what extra pie it is showing there.

Share the screenshot as well.

Sorry, I didn't understand you.

This are the slices shown:

HI @Anonymous ,

 

I meant the following as this will tell you what that extra pie is getting displayed on your pie-chart though it doesn't show it on the LEGEND:

Also I am now not very sure if I understand your question. What do you mean by I have a set of defined categories but for one of them I get it represented in three different groups?

I'm having three slices displayed for the group "W7-W10" when it should be only one.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please export the data to excel, compare those 3 heads, they look like same but should be different by a space (white space), in the beginning/end or in middle somewhere?

 

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Share the link from where i can download your PBI file.

HI @Anonymous ,

 

What happens when you move this working week group to Details section rather than Legend section?

HAve you tried moving this working week group and your count to a normal table visual rather than pie-chart? (attach a screenshot if possible)

I can't judge exactly without seeing the data.
