Calculated Column for Assigning Quintiles

Hi, 

 

I want to be able to assign quintiles to Geos based on their indicator value. I've created measures to calculate the percentiles and a measure to assign the quintile (QuintileColour); these work perfectly fine.
As I can't use measures as a legend for the Shape Map visual i'm using ,I would like to create a calculated column to assign the quintiles.

I tried using the same formula as the QuintileColour measure for the calculated column but it doesnt work, all values are assigned to the 1st quintile.

Would be grateful if someone can help me do this

Then create a measure

Counts =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        'Sample data',
        [Country]
            IN VALUES ( 'Country'[Country] )
                && [QuintileColour] IN VALUES ( 'Level'[Level] )
    )
)

Put the measure and field of  country table and the field of  quintile level table to the visual.

Output
