Clustered Column Chart Help

Hello Experts, I have a situation, and was hoping if you could help me. I have a table with FY, and a few area columns with the score. I then pivot it to have Area Avg by FY. Below is the screen shot of the table.  I am trying to visualize this information using a "Clustered Column Chart" visual in powerBI, but then FY goes onto X Axis, where as I want FY as Legend. As you can see below, it is relatively easy to get this in MS Excel.

If you can guide me to any custom visual or way to achieve this in PowerBI, it would be very helpful to us. Please note that, I have already tried transforming the data by transposing Area Columns on Rows, but with that I am loosing so many other filter criterias. Its a part of a big fact table with multiple touchpoints/datasets. Having it as Columns is required.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Can you share the original data please?

    How about adding a calculated table as bellow?

    middle_table =
SUMMARIZE (
    'table1',
    'table1'[FY],
    'table1'[area],
    "average_value", AVERAGE ( 'table1'[value] )
)

    Best Regards,

    Dale

      Hi Dale, thanks for your response, and sorry for the delayed reply. Creating a calculated table is not helpful. if we go with a calculated table, we loose the granular level filtering capabilites. This is the reason, why I could not go for transpose option. I will try to create a mockup dataset and share with you.

       

      Thanks
