Hi @MP_123,

 

If there is one color in the chart, I think the chart Title already tell us the meaning of the color. See:

Besides, chart legend will display when the Legend property contain a field or Values have more than one field. See:

You should add your desired column in the legends field to see the legends in the chart.

 

Please see the attached scrrenshot.

 thank you!@BhaveshPatel

my legend is a calculated measure, so it can be added to the 'legend' section 😞

Hi @MP_123

 

Sorry but You can not use measures as legends as they are aggregated values as oppose to the columns or calculated columns. You can try creating a calculated column and can achieve the desired result.

i'm afraid i wasn't clear.

i just want power bi to show the meaning of the columns' color.

when there is only one (non clustered) it doesn't show, and if there are two it's do show.
