As an alternative, you might subscribe any dashboard and get email once the data is changed (documentation).

Is it possible to create alert on such chart in Power BI, because as of now I know that only KPIs, cards and gauges can create alert. Please provide link if alerts can be created on bar graph?

    Let's try to find an approach that is not related directly with Power BI.

     

    If I had such task I would create an embeded visual and modified it to add specific attributes in some tag for critical values, then I would analyzed DOM by external code to look for my attribute and if it was found, I would do anything then, send an e-mail for instance, because I will not be limited by visual reuirements in that case.
