Bar chart with 2 values

Hello,

 

I would like to put 2 values in a grouped bar chart. The values are "revenue selected year" and "revenue previous year", grouped in several categories (e.g.: region A, region B, region C).

 

So output should be a grouped bar chart like this:

- region A revenue selected year

- region A revenue previous year

- region B revenue selected year

- region V revenue previous year

- ...

 

Is this possible?

 

Regards

Dennis

Hi  @Anonymous ,

According to your description, I create this data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Year = YEAR('Table'[date])

2. Place region to axis, year to legend and revenue to value

3. Result:

You can downloaded PBIX file from here.

Hello @amitchandak ,

 

I do not get how this solves my problem. I do have regions as my axis, but i can just put one measure into values. So it either shows selected year or it shows previous year, what i want to do is but both values in the same bar chart.

@Anonymous , Wou can have region as axis and This year vs last year as values/measures using time intelligence and date table 

 

example 

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))


//Only year vs Year, not a level below

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))
rolling = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]>=max('Date'[Year])-2 && 'Date'[Year]<=max('Date'[Year])) )

diff = [This Year]-[Last Year ]
diff % = divide([This Year]-[Last Year ],[Last Year ])

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
