Radar chart for beginner

[scottda4270]

Hi all. I am a complete novice at BI, just started on Sunday but have a working dashboard that i am reasonably happy with. However, I have a question (well i have several but one at a time) 

Radar chart.

I have two columns of data in my dataset, column A is category, car, bike, boat as examples, column B is made up of values (red, green, blue) as an example.

What i want to do is to have a radar chart that effectively allows me to visualise how many red cars, bikes, and boats on a radar chart as one example. My data does not have numeric values so i cant count them as such. Is there a way of using the MS radar to have the 3 cateories around the outside of the radar (i.e. the 3 points) and to count how many 'red' there are for each. Ideally i will put a slicer on the dashboard for each colour. Hope that makes sense. 

thanks

Hi,@scottda4270 

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1. First I created the following table based on your description:
   

2.Next please select the view to download Radar view:

3.I then created the following measure:

Measure = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('radartable'),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('radartable'),'radartable'[category]=MAX('radartable'[category])&&'radartable'[value]=MAX('radartable'[value])))

4.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

Can you share sample data and sample output in tabular format if I am misunderstanding? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

Hi @Anonymous @thank you so much. This is exactly what I was trying to do. I have not used Measures before so I don't understand the syntax of your solution so I may have to do some reading up.  I did manage to find a workaround but it's not as elegant as yours. I added additional columns in my dataset for each colour. I then wrote an IF statement to populate each row with a 1 or 0 based on condition. It works, but I like your solution better. Thanks again
