Bar Chart - Shade Between Values

[Anonymous]

Hello - 

I'm trying to tell a story with what's happening in one of my charts. It's a Bar Chart with values on the x-axis and categories on the y-axis. I want to shade between certain values and be able to add contex on what's happening. 

I've attached a screenshot for you to preview how ideally this would look. Is there a way to do this in Power BI? I'm using the constant lines on the analytics section, however, I can't shade between the areas. Or at least I haven't figured it out yet. 

Here's an Example. Notice the 4 shades of colors.

Hi @Anonymous ,

This is not possible directly, and I assume your axis will grow in context related like filtering and so on.

You can try to add an image on the background of your chart but that woul implie that you would have the exact size of your chart especcially the x-axis always on the same size, other option can be using the stacked bar chart and using 3 measures for example:

0 to 40 = if (SUM('Table'[Value]) < 40, SUM('Table'[Value]), 40 )

40 to 50 = if(SUM('Table'[Value]) > 50 , 50 - 40,SUM('Table'[Value]) - [0 to 40] )

OVER 50 = if(SUM('Table'[Value]) > 50 , SUM('Table'[Value]) - [40 to 50] - [0 to 40] )

Then using this measures you can do the following formatting:

Has you can see both charts are equal but they have the highlight on the bar. Then using the legend you can use the names you need.
