PowerBI - Clustered bar chart for time phased data with mutiple column attributes.

[trevorg]

How to create a 'clustered bar chart' for aggregated data that is using the same row with three different attributes.

For some reason I cannot find a way for the 'series/shared axis' to be split by column attribute. (It will only use one column attribute at a time, like 'Planned', but not all three).

Example dataset:

Title	Value	Plan	Actual	Forecast
Row 1	10	Jan 2020	Jan 2020
Row 2	15	Feb 2020		Feb 2020
Row	12	Feb 2020		Mar 2020

Something like this would be the result:

@trevorg , with multiple columns you can not have a legend.

If you want these columns as a legend , you need to unpivot your data.

This unpivot transform should help you to get your data into a usable format.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCsovVzBU0lEyNAASXol5CkYGRmhMBaVYHYhCI5BCUyDhlpqEkEXiQhWClBlhKvNNLIIqiwUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Title = _t, Value = _t, Plan = _t, Actual = _t, Forecast = _t]),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Title", "Value"}, "Attribute", "Value.1")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"
