Visualization Summing the Values

[omi18]

Hello Guys,

I am importing the data from SQL Server and trying to plot a bar graph. While doing this power bi is showing me different number than the number is present in Data section.

It might be a silly mistake, I am doing. lol

Thanks,

Hi @omi18

This is due to Power BI being a aggregation tool.You may try to add Legend as category.It's better that if you could share some sample data which could reproduce your scenario and your desired output so that we could help further on it.

Hello @v-cherch-msft

Yes, But Instead of Question ID, I want to use University ID. So visualization will present Universities by Enrolment.

Thanks,

Hi @omi18

Power BI is a aggregation tool.The way around this would be to create an index column in query editor to provide the uniqueness of rows.Then use the index column for legend. For example:

Hi @omi18,

In your data image you have two filters on your data are those filters also present in the chart you are using? Do you have any categories that make the legend?

Hello @MFelix

Hello,

No, There is no filter in the visualization. Each Year represents a different question ID. In the screenshot 106 ID belongs to Enroll 2014 Year. And I am Using enroll 2014 as a Value and Legend is blank.
