Then you might want to consider using the "Marimekko" visual. Of course, this is only if you wanted to add a category name for the numerical value—if it's something else, then this won't work, as there's also no option to add details by adding DAX measures. As an alternative solution, you could recreate the visual you need using Deneb (a Custom Visual with Vega-Lite), but that would take more time.

Because the Mekko chart can adjust the width of each column based on its value, it can fine-tune the column widths, that is important, since my reader need to know each category of market share.
