Bar Chart Visual

How can I show mulitple columns of a bar chart horizontally? I have 3 columns I need to visually show in a stacked bar chart and I would like to be able to show 2 of the 3 horizontally.  Currently, my visual displays the text for Columns 1 & 2 vertically and I would like to be able to change #2 to be shown horizontally just as Column 3 is shown.  Is this possible and if so, how do I acheive this?Bar Chart Inquiry to Microsoft Forum.png 

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but in my opinion, you can try to create a new column by creating calculated column, something like below.

 

column0203 = data[column02] & " " & data[column03]

 

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file whether it suits your requirement.
