Showing total count Value in Bar Chart

Hi,

 

I got stuck, looking thru all the chart solution in this forum... still doesn't feel any enlightenment. I am trying to get the total count to appear on my bar chart. I have

- x-axis with the owner name

- y-axis with count of Overdue number

 

How do I get the total of overdue ( which the count should be total 6) onto that bar chart? Hope to get some pointer from the expert from this forum. Thanks a ton.

Hi @Frozensparrow ,

 

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data.  

vtangjiemsft_0-1678154705252.png

(2) Click "Transform Data" to enter the Power Query Editor, click "Advanced Editor" to copy and paste the following code, you can check the steps in the right step bar.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTJUitXBznLCwnKGsGIB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Owner = _t, OverDue = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Owner", type text}, {"OverDue", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Changed Type"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Transposed Table", "Custom", each "Total"),
    #"Transposed Table1" = Table.Transpose(#"Added Custom"),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Transposed Table1","Total","",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value",{{"Column2", type number}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type1",{{"Column1", "Owner"}, {"Column2", "OverDue"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

(3)Click "Close and Apply" and we can create two calculated columns and two measures.

count = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table','Table'[Owner]=EARLIER('Table'[Owner])))
total = COUNTROWS('Table')-1
Measure = IF(MAX('Table'[OverDue])=BLANK(),MAX('Table'[total]),MAX('Table'[count]))
color = IF(MAX('Table'[Owner])="Total",1,0)

(4)Set the conditional formatting as shown in the following figure.

(5)Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

Thanks Neeko, you sample pbix allow me to understand better, and give me the idea on the approach. Thank you so much. 🙂
