Showing an asterisk on a data visual

Hi Power BI experts,

 

Is there a way to show an asterisk on a data viz, e.g. bat chart or pie graph?

 

In the PBIX files linked, I can mask the data, which is fake, via an asterisk in a table or matrix.

 

CCMP_Mask_TEST.pbix

CCMP_Raw_Masked.pbix

 

However, the asterisk does not appear when I build a viz with the same data. Is there a way for the viz to show the asterisk?

 

Thank you,

 

Luis

@Anonymous you can take advantage of new dynamic formatting and do something like this for the format :

 

IF ( SELECTEDMEASURE () <= 5, "*" )

I suspect the reason I don't have dynamic formatting is that I have a report measure instead of a model measure.
