Clustered stacked column chart

[trev_likes_PBI]

I'm trying to implement a Clustered stacked column chart. I can't figure out how to do it or find any examples. 

The chart would look similar to the image below. Have you got any idea if this can be acieved in Power BI?

Hi @trev_likes_PBI ,

Here, is a 100 % Stacked Clustered Column Chart where you can put two different values (e.g: Current year sales and Previous year sales) and can easily compare between them based on their category.

100 % Stacked Clustered Column Chart. pbivizedit.com

 Download link for the custom visual file on this page,

https://pbivizedit.com/gallery/100stacked-clustered-column-chart 

This was made with our Custom Visual creator tool PBIVizEdit.com. With this tool,

• anyone, irrespective of technical skills, can create their visuals
• 15 minutes to create a visual from scratch
• opens up many additional attributes to edit (e.g. labels, tooltips, legends position, etc)

Give this a shot and let us know if you face any problems/errors.
You can use the editor to modify your visual further (some modifications cannot be done in the Power BI window and have to be in the editor).

Thanks,
Team PBIVizEdit

I've put a solution together in this blog post if it's still interesting after all these years since this thread was posted 🙂

Is there any update on this feature we too need this functionality/workaround if any one has done it

@trev_likes_PBI
In Power BI Desktop, it’s not possible to create a chart which can combine both Clustered and Stacked column chart together. Because it can’t determine which group of series need to be “clustered”, which group of series need to be “stacked”. And it’s still not supported to add multiple fields into Legend of a chart. The expected result as you posted can’t be achieved. For your requirement, I suggest you add a column to assign type “Forecast” and “Actual”, then build a hierarchy like “Type->Cost”. Put the hierarchy on X-axis, you suppose to drill down the detail level to see those different costs.

You have to structure your data like this example before using it in power BI.

Hi Guys

I know there is no provision to create a clustered stacked column chart in PowerBI directly. But at times we have no option but to create the same to meet project demand. We have tried to tweak a little and build something which is close to clustered stacked column chart to meet our requirement. I am sharing the screen shot for same. We created it using black columns. In case you want to know more about solution, do ping me @ kamboj.rajan90@gmail.com

Can you share the pbix to my email - srini@samiksha.com.sg

Appreciate your help

[MitieFred]

Unfortunately the solution suggested by @rajankamboj never came with a pbix.

The best offer came from @LN7715 with a video on Youtube showing a possible way forward.

I believe it's still an open request with the Power BI developers to give us an official solution.

Hi @rajankamboj  Can you please share the solution? Thank in Advance!

hi 

what was the solution ? i need to implement it as well in a file 

[Anonymous]

Unfortunately no,  I had to resort to the just using the clustered chart and having the multiple categories on the axis chart to allow for a drill down.

Has anyone gotten the solution?  I need to have this also

Thank you in advance.

[ethelpanama]

Hi! Could you please share solution? I need to implement the same thing

I am trying to implement the same chart in a report I am working on; can you share how you implemented the chart? Thanks.

[MitieFred]

@rajankamboj  Please share the details of this as it meets what I and many others are trying to achieve

Thanks in advance

Hi Rajan,

Please share more detils how you get this solution.

The problem is drill-downs do not work on dashboards, hence the heirarchy cannot be used on dashboards. How difficult is it custom  build this visual?
