Good day Community,
I have prbably simple question. I have data which looks like that. Data comes from similar Excel files from different assessments:
ITEM 1 ITEM 2 ITEM 2
Manager GOOD BAD NOT ASSESSED
Operator NOT ASSESSED VERY GOOD BAD
Assistant GOOD AVERAGE NOT ASSESSED
In a background of Excel, I have chaged asessemnt crtieria to NUMBERS to allow better visualization for AREA CHARTS etc... Text can only be presented by PIE CHARTS in %.
GOOD is 5
AVERAGE is 3
NOT ASSESED is 0
Question #1: In need average mark for every item, how to exclude 0 mark from average. I do not want to hide 0 as I want to know how many times "NOT ASSESSED" was used.
Question#2: On are chart, It will preferlty show what I need if I use numbers - Can I change legend and labels in Power Bi to customize numbers back to TEXT for better understanding of reader?
Thnaks

Solved! Go to Solution.
@AleksandrMe
For Q2, you may create another column as the labels, something like:
Column 2 = SWITCH(TRUE(),[Measure]<3,"Don't Meet Standard",[Measure]>=3,"Meet Standard")

@AleksandrMe - I would unpivot those last three columns (ITEM1, ITEM2, ITEM3) in Power Query. You could get the average of no 0's by doing something like:
You could create a column then like this:
Column = SWITCH([Value],"GOOD",5,"AVERAGE",3,"NOT ASSESSED",0)
Then a measure like this:
Measure = AVERAGEX(FILTER('Table',[Column]<>0),[Column])
@Greg_Deckler - Thanks Greg.
I figured out how to deal with average exlusion of ) values. However still not able to figure out if my another idea is possible at all.
Please see screen - TO have this graph I need Numbers but Not Text. I woul like to keep this type of graph by I woul like to use text for labels - this is where I struggle. Reader needs to undertand what 3.0 means, this for example "Meet Standard" etc...
