Hi @Anonymous,

 

You can add the set names as a legend. Please refer to the snapshots below.

 i been looking for this option "legend". but i dont have it. see picture (Version 2.56.5023.1021 64-bit maart 2018)power bi.JPG

Hi @Anonymous,

 

If it's ArcGIS map, you need to add it in the "Color" field. Can you share some sample data? There could be something wrong with the column "Layer set".

Hi @v-jiascu-msft,

 

first of all thanks for the help.

 

Layer set is a column with the following formula:

Layer set = IF(Wegenschouw[objectID]=BLANK();1;2).

 

the datasheet is a result of 2 tables that been append too one table.

its connected too a SQL server, how can i share some sample dat?

 

 

 

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You can upload the pbix file to the cloud drive like OneDrive, Dropbox if you can, then share the link here. If you can't share the file, you can post samples of the tables and the relationships here. Please mask the private data first.

 

Best Regards,

removed data

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You had filtered out the type 1. That is why there is only one color. Please clear the filter and try again.
