Problem creating a graph with accumulated columns

 

Hello, I'm new to the forum and would like help with a question related to column charts in Power Bi.

Today we have a report at the company that compares the current month with the previous month. However, the graph (excel) has two columns at the end of the graph, after "December", there are two columns with the accumulated 2023 and 2024.
In powerbi, I was able to make the graph, but with the X axis in "Year_month". If I enter the month and compare the years, it gives an error.

Can you help me?

Below is an image of what the graph should look like.Grafico Excel.gif

Hello, lbendlin.
So the problem I have to work around is this: I have a calendar base and a complaints facts base.

From this facts base, we extract the demand and complaints, ok!
In my model, we have the measures "total complaint", "total demand", "performance index", "previous year index" and "previous year demand".
I need to compare the performance index of the current year against the previous year, projecting this in a column chart.
This graph needs to have after the month of December, the cumulative of the current year and the previous year.
Ex:. Jan, Feb, Mar.... ten, current year, the previous one.

Is it possible to create this look?
