Hi @shivambhat ,

I am not 100% sure on what you mean by: I am unable  to see value field. On the   contrary Its  reflected  while I try to plot Pie chart.

Can you please elaborate more here?

Attach some screenshot for your pie-chart visual explaining what value field you are referring here?

If I understand your question you mean why you see values section in pie-chart when compared to another charts.

Pie chart allows you to represent one metric there fore you have Values section in there.

Other charts like the one you have highlighted stacked column chart, allows you to use x-axis and y-axis to be represented. Therefore doesn't have values section. Something like below where I have shown you want to repesent Total price by date:

HI @shivambhat 

Please see my previous response with explanation please.

I am mentioning my response again here.

@Pragati11  Thanks  for your  response, but still my question remains  that  How do I add values?

Please refer to this SC  as I have been following this video:

Here  you can that  you  are able  to add values in value field for  Column charts.

Hi @shivambhat ,

This video seems to be old. If I am right it from Year 2020. And after that Power BI has got nearly 2 years worth of monthly updates.

It looks like in current Power BI version you don't see this values section anymore. Now you see x-axis  y-axis  section for the chart visuals.

Also whatever you used to add in the Values section earlier, now goes to y-axis section in the latest version.

Hope this helps.
