Create Line chart with two Y axis like Excel Pivot chart

I need to reproduce a line chatr with 2 Y axis in Power BI similar to Excel using Pivot Table chart.  In Excel is very simple, in very few clicks I can generate this chart with multiple columns overlapped in both Y axis:

Trying to reproduce the same in Power BI, I created all required measures and auxiliary tables to achieve this without success so far.  When I try to use the line chart secondary Y axis, don't accept even the second axis for a single column for a second Y axis.

Dataset used is the same for both Excel and Power BI.

 

Every dataset for each line is about +/- 570 data points.

 

Really appreciate in advance your valuable help.

 

Kind regards,

Hi @WGAP47573 ,

First of all, many thanks to @amitchandak  for your very quick and effective replies.

 

The native visual doesn't support this, but you can do this with custom visuals available in appsource like the below (these are paid custom visuals though, not free. costs about $4 or so per user).

Advanced Line Chart (Pro) (microsoft.com)

It would be straight forward to build a dual-axis chart with either the Charticulator or Deneb visuals. Both are free.

Thanks for your reply and support, I'll checkout your proposed solution in detail to find the most adequated workaround.  I hope Power BI team will consider to have similar functionalities as Excel Power Pivot, which are really powerful, easy to use and with a lot of flexibility.
