Column Chart Multiple Columns

Hi,

 

Sorry, quite new with Power BI and sometimes the simplest things in Excel aren't simple in here (to me anyway)!

 

I wish to create a column chart with 5 separate pieces of data from a dataset.

So, I have Fields named: - Budget, Cost at completion, cost to complete, cost to date, Variance.

 

I wish the column chart to show these as 5 separate columns with a gap in-between. Whenever I try, I am either getting them stacked on top of one another (using the stacked version, obviously), or right next to each other (using the clustered), without the headings/titles below.

I realise it is probably something I am missing, but what?

 

Many thanks,

Rich

Hi @RichJW

 

Can you share some base data so I can help you on this visual

Hi Affan,

 

Appreciate the support.

As you will see, it is stacking my columns (this is the stacked chart though), whereas I want the 5 columns to be individually named and categorised.

Thanks, Rich

What do you have at the X-Axis?

The x axis needs to be the 5 fields, whilst the y is the £value.

As you see from the screenshot, you don't get the option to choose an axis.

Hi @RichJW,

Hi @RichJW I have a similar issue, you could try a funnel plot as that accepts plotting multiple values. 

 

Personally I'd prefer this to be available on a column/stacked bar chart rather than seeing the bars centralised in a funnel plot though.. Do you have the link for the idea post you submitted?
