Adding columns of data in a horizontal contribution chart

 

 

We are new to Power BI and we are trying to figure out how to replicate a function from Tableau in Power BI.

 

In Tableau, we could show columns of data next to the bars in a horizontal bar chart or a horizontal contribution chart like the image below. In this image, the user added the "Product Type" and the "State" to the Rows and Tableau created the appropriate columns of data next to the bars of the chart.

 

You can see this live on this public report from Oakland Unified School District: https://dashboards.ousd.org/views/ChronicAbsence_0/Comparison?:embed=y&:display_count=no&:render=fal...

 

Is there a way to do this in Power BI as well?  Thanks so much for your insights!

There's no equivalent feature in Power BI. The most similiar is Conditional Format Table/Matrix.

Thanks Eric.  I may submit this one on an idea board because I think this is a useful feature to merge the data and viz.

 

Have a great day.
