Piechart wrong percentage

Using 2 tables, 1 for "customer code" and another with "invoice Number", 2 different visualisations showing different percentage.

Why???

 

1.- How can I fix it?

 

2.- and when we will be able to use count as a slicer??

 

 

  • ntalam , got it. Pie visual has a limit on the maximum number of rows it can have. In your first post, you can see an "i" sign. Hover over that. You can see a message that there more than 3500 points. In a few visuals like scatter you have the option to change it, but I do not think you can do that in the pie.

     

    So, reduce the number of data points in the pie.

  • ntalam , The first one seems to be correct. What you have to use for both for % of total. Is there a filter on pie visual ?

    Difficult to say why the second one is wrong unless we look at the data.

     

    Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

      As soon I use lower numbers, it gets right.

      Both have the same datasource.

       

      The slicer is just reducing the amount of invoices group by count distinct
