Bar Chart using Silo graphic?
I'm building a simple bar chart to show the capacity of a silo (that holds water) and I would like to show the bar in the chart as a silo (with rounded top and lines around the body of the bar). I can make these in Photoshop but I'm not sure if it's possible to use my own graphics in a power bi bar chart?

After you create your silo image ( or better yet svg file ) import it in the PBIX file and place it behind your column chart!
I assume you actually meant column chart (vertical) vs bar chat (horizontal)
Go to the View Tab - check the Selection Pane and then arrange so your Chart is above the Image
Then turn off Legend, X and Y axis, Title and only turn the Labels on if you wish

This is only a workaround and it will not do exactly what you are asking for :smileysad:
To change the shape of the column itself in the chart I suspect you need to build your own custom visual
Good Luck!:smileyhappy:
EDIT:
You can also try using your image with the Infographic Custom Visual
