Bar chart skips values on the visual

Hi,

I found some very strange behaviour on PowerBI.

 

You can find 2 visuals below from the same data with no extra filters. The data represents sales by SKU.

1. The table shows, that total Jan-20 total sales are 4.2 bln $ and top 3 skus are 740 mln, 366 mln and 178 mln.

2. But the chart show that total Jan-20 sales are ~1 bln and # 2 sku (366 mln sales) is not even on the chart. 

 

So this stacked bar chart is really misleading. I tried the following options, but it didn't work too:

- Using Measure (SUM by column) instead of column

- Using other charts (e.g. Ribbon Chart)

 

What might cause this issue?

@oleks , Please click on that "!" sign, I think because of more data points it is not showing all the data. Try to reduce legend using some measure. Show top 20 of legend using measure
