To show all legend for a pie chart

[Apple08]

Hi All

I have a pie chart to show the value of a survey form.  Users can select options from a dropdown list.  There are five options for users to choose e.g. A,B,C,D,E.  Therefore the project field for different months are varied, e.g. Jan-24 with projects A, B, C, Feb-24 with B, C, D, Mar-24 with A,B,C,D,E.  

I have a pie chart to show the number of projects for different month.  Is there a way I can keep the legend always showing a full list of five options in the legend no matter there are no values for the projects.  I have tried to right click the field to select 'show items with no data' however it doesn't work.  If user select the month Feb-24 the legend still only shows BCD instead of ABCDE.

Please could anyone help.  Many thanks.

Hi @Apple08 

if my understanding is correct, you want lenges irrespective of filters. i treid to do similar thing hope this will help you also. 

Step 1: Create a table with distinct value for category (A, b... etc), 

Table = DISTINCT(Piechart[Category])

Step 2: join both the table: 

After thet use category in pie chart
