Donut chart - Cannot drag measures into Values

Hey all, 

 

I am trying to create a donut chart that will color code by deactivation reason and total count of agreement number. I am noticing that I cannot drag anything into the values section. I tried a handful of other measures from the same data source, so its not isolated to just aggreement number. Any tips or ideas on what might be the issue? 

 

I don't get any errors, it just snaps back to where it was before.

    Hi zwithrow ,

     

    Unfortunately, I have done some tests but have not been able to reproduce your problem, could you please check if you meet the following limitations:

    • The sum of the doughnut chart values must add up to 100%.
    • Too many categories create small slices in the chart. Small slices can be difficult to read and interpret.

    Hi,

    I am interested in that topic.

     

    I created a table composed of a measure showing a ranking that change and is computed again when some filters are selected. I want to represent the distribution of this ranking in a donut chart. However, I cannot drag and drop this measure in Values. If I create a computed column, I lose the dynamic part of recomputing the result when selecting filters on the report. So I really need to use the specific measure that is updating with filters. 

    Do you have an idea on how I can treat that case ?

    Thank you very much for your support.
