Replace bar of horizontal bar chart with a dot or line (instead of the entire bar)

Dear All,

 

I am trying to plot a graph for HR/OR and error bar. The horizontal bar chart and error bar works fine but I don't need the entire bar on my graph. Instead, I just need the end/tip of the bar to be displayed as just a vertical line or a dot and the error bar (horizontal). Is this feasible in the PowerBI chart? Thanks in advance.

@NiteshS You could change the color of the bars to match the background and turn on data labels. Not going to be a perfect solution but then again, if you don't want bars, probably shouldn't be using a bar chart... 🙂

Thank you for responding, Greg. Please see the example figure below that I intend to create in PowerBI. As of now, the only figures I've been able to plot are the horizontal bar and the error bar. Is there another way I can plot this figure? 

Note: I want this figure to be plotted horizontally (example in the image below).
