I am looking for a clustered stacked bar chart of clustered stacked column chart like the one below, but according to this old post Power BI does not offer this, at least not as a free certified visual. Does anyone know a feasible alternative visual type to display two categorized data next to eachother in one visual?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I found a way to get this done - it probably doesn't win a Power BI beauty contest but it works. Basically, you create 2 separate stacked bar chart visuals, one for each category (in the picture above: one for the brown bars and one for the orange bars). Then, you make the background of one of the visuals transparent and remove titles and axis etc. In both visuals you then maximize the spacing between the bars Then as a final step you simply put the transparent one on top of the other one and resize a bit until it looks like what you see in the example in my first post.

@PunchBird I see, maybe you can create one using DANEB Declarative Visualization in Power BI | Deneb (deneb-viz.github.io)

@PunchBird did you look at custom visuals at the marketplace?

I did but they are not free and/or not certified. I need something that's free and certified. I am open to other visual types but can't think of anything suitable. Any ideas?
