don't group text on visual

 

First let me show the data:

 

dateactiondocIDdocName

not important

not important111not log

not important

not important123

log

not important

not important123log

 

I want to show visualize many actions were for each document (docID), but I want to show the document name. In other words, I do not want power bi to group the names on the visual. Is there a way to do this?

 

This is what I get now:

What I would like to get (docName, Count of Actions):

Log1111
Log222
log file 

132

Log

111

log file

13

...

Hi @skutovicsakos

 

You need to add an index column to separate each row,see below:

1, Go to query editor> add column >Index column:

Then add the index column to the table visual and hide it,see below:

Set "word wrap" under "column header" and " value" off,

If name are same they will grouped on visuals. The way our create a concatenated column

 

id name = [Name] & " " & [ID]

Thank you @v-kelly-msft,

I will accept this as a solution, because it solves the original question, but this method does not work on all visuals. Is there a way to get the same result on a bar chart?
