Stacked Column chart - Totals

[t-atgeor]

Hi, am struggling on creating a view using the Stacked Column visual, which represents two fields - IT cost and Total costs. I would like to have the IT costs as part of the Total Costs, however, the graph shows me a sum of both, which is not correct. How can I change this?

I thought by creating another column, called Other costs ( Total costs  - IT costs) and simply have a sum of both then, however, would be brilliant if on top, I could see a data label showing me the sum. If this is the solution, how do I get this label?

Thanks , Atanas

Frustrated that PBI does not have a simple Total to a stacked column/bar graph I am now using matrix tables on my graphs. I have multi periods and therefore the card method is not ideal. 

Steps: Create a Matrix Table >> Change Column Header Font Color & Background to White >> Turn off the Auto-Size for Column Headers >> Outline to None >> Do the same for Row Headers>> Change Grid Outline color to white >> Send the Matrix Table to back.

Hope this helps. It is not perfect but at least takes care of multi-period bar graphs provided the number of periods is constant.

Create a card visualization and put Total Cost in it and then place it above your column.

Unfortunately, the stacked column visualization does not allow you to have a reference line tied to a column or measure, it only currently supports a Constant line.

Hi @Greg_Deckler,

thanks for responding. I have seen some people including a Line Value as Totals, however, it seems to be possible to only show the Total on the Line and not have the split in labels in the columns. Do you happen to know how they do it?

/just like you showed in your example however without the labels in the columns and the line crossing the edge on the top and showing the Total/

Thank you.

 To get rid of the data labels, go into the format painter and turn off Data Labels. For the line, see @v-caliao-msft's post. However, if you turn off data labels, I believe you will have to use the Card visualization technique.

Hi @Greg_Deckler, @v-caliao-msft,

thanks for responding. My question was more whether there is a possibility to apply data labels only on the line ,and not on the columns, or the other way around?

Hi @t-atgeor，

Could you provide a screenshot about it? I have tested it on my local environment, the chart looks like below.
