How to set colums as 'value' in charts?

[Anonymous]

I can't set colums, only measures as value in charts. What do i do wrong?

(The data type is wholeNumber, but even if it wasn't, it should default to the count() of that colums as i saw in videos before)

details: SSAS tabular, live connection

EDIT: Thanks for the answers! Short sum: This function does not work for me, i will report is as a bug.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have tested the scenario in my environment but it has nothing problem:

When the field is a measure or a sigma(∑)  value, it can be put into value column normally:

sigma value

measure value

When it is other types, it default shows the count normally:

other types

May be you can download the latest desktop version (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494) to try again.

Are you saying that you cannot drag KeywordCount from the legend and drop it into the value area? As this works fine for me.

And I can drag a column from the metadata pane and drop it into the values area without a problem.
