Diversity report - Using Measure in Legend of graph

I am trying to build a Diversity report for my organization. 

 

A simple example of the data I work with:

Candidate IDGenderOrg lvl1Org lvl 2Org lvl2ShortlistedInterviewedOffered

1MaleSportSquashBallYesYesYes
2FemaleSportSquashBallYesYesYes
3UnknownSportSquashBallYesYesYes

 

 

I added an excel file with the above and a power PI report here:  

https://wetransfer.com/downloads/e15fd9ac80e4da54360195bf5c5552c420221125151306/8f48a8bb5a0a74c98be0...

 

I need to show the diversity data for each characteristic Broken down for each recruitment step (shortlisted, Interview, Offer).

 

As we cannot use measures in the x Axis of a graph

I started by Adding a new column (column1) to use as reference: with each recruitment step.

Using Dax I then created the below measure:

Measure test =
VAR Short = CALCULATE(
           SUM( Table1[Candidate Sum] ),
           Table1[Shortlisted] ="Yes")
VAR Inte = CALCULATE(
           SUM( Table1[Candidate Sum]),
           Table1[Interviewed] ="Yes")
VAR Offe = CALCULATE(
           SUM (Table1[Candidate Sum]),
           Table1[Offered] = "Yes")
RETURN
SWITCH(
      SELECTEDVALUE( 'Recrtuiment steps'[Column1]),
      "Shortlisting", Short,
      "Interview", Inte ,
      "Offer", Offe
      )

 

This returns the Diversity data perfectly https://ibb.co/mtdDFtn

 

 

Now my issue is that I need to stop the graph from showing the legend data (Gender) when the value is less than 5. The problem is that the legend cannot accept a value.

Adding a if less than 5 works in removing the data:

less than 5 test =
VAR Short = CALCULATE(
           SUM( Table1[Candidate Sum] ),
           Table1[Shortlisted] ="Yes")
VAR Inte = CALCULATE(
           SUM( Table1[Candidate Sum]),
           Table1[Interviewed] ="Yes")
VAR Offe = CALCULATE(
           SUM (Table1[Candidate Sum]),
           Table1[Offered] = "Yes")


RETURN
SWITCH(
      SELECTEDVALUE( 'Recrtuiment steps'[Column1]),
      "Shortlisting", IF(Short < 5 ,Blank() , Short) ,
      "Interview", IF(Inte <5 , Blank() , Inte) ,
      "Offer", IF( Offe < 5 , Blank() , Offe )
      )
This DAX will remove the data completely if less than 5. Good start but now it looks like we don't have any small numbers instead of hiding them. https://ibb.co/SBYQQ1w
 
What I need is for the legend to be amended to merge/group categories that are less than into a new "Hidden" value.
So instead of (picturing the graph):
Non Binary 3% - 3
Unknown 2% - 2
Male 50% - 50
Female 45% -45
shortlist
  
I currently get:
 
 
Male 50% - 50
Female 47% -45
shortlist
 

I need:

 
Hidden 5%
Male 50% - 50
Female 45% -45
shortlist

 

Is this possible, or am I not using the correct approach?

 

My set of raw data is bigger but I only selected this to understand the logic. Thank you

You cannot really create dynamic buckets.  They have to be predefined in a refererence table.  Then you can use the column from that table as the legend, and create your measures around it.
