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.
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 need to create a measure and then in the format select dynamic that's where you will this condition.

@Anonymous you can take advantage of new dynamic formatting and do something like this for the format :
IF ( SELECTEDMEASURE () <= 5, "*" )

Hi @parry2k - thank you for your nudge. Your video was super helpful.
I suspect the reason I don't have dynamic formatting is that I have a report measure instead of a model measure.
