Needing help Create custom parallel interactive bar chart

Haifaa — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 21:57:00 GMT

I need help with creating the middle chart

The dashboard looks like butterfly chart for hires and exits, with a parallel bar chart in the middle showing headcount and promotions for each headcount grade level

-as Power BI lacks this visual I am trying to do it with python but I am unable to find the right code to generate the middle graph and make it interactive with the bar charts on the left and right.

** so the requirement is creating three subplots: left for hires for each career level,

middle for headcount/promotions for each career level *up of each other* in parallel and showing the (number, percentage ),

and right for exits, all sharing the same y-axis (career levels).

please define what you mean by "interactive". Python visuals are prerendered, and not interactive.

is there any way to make it interactive ?

or we can leave it like that and just make it prerendered

My supervisor asks me to create it response when clicking on career level all of the dashboard takes an action and highlights the career level new hire , Active headcounts and Total promotions , Total Exits

If you want it interactive, you can use deneb

You can get cross highlighting and other features like native visuals
