In a pie chart, how to convert an numerical value of an enum to a string?

The slices on my pie chart are currently displaying the numerical value of an enum, which isn't too useful. Instead of displaying "2", how could I make it display a user-friendly label, like "Purple" instead?

I tried lookup tables, but it doesn't work well with click drilldown filtering, for which I need the numerical value for token setting and filtering.

If you use the lookup, you could still use a custom drill-down that supplies the numerical value. Here is the docs page on dynamic drilldowns

Are there many values? An eval statement would probably work, but typing out a large one would be tedious.

Could you provide more details, like your current search, current output?
