Clustered Column Chart - Secondary Axis - That Is Also a Clustered Column Chart & Not a Line

Hi Community,

 

Is there an out-of-the-box method to have a secondary axis in a clustered column chart that is not a line, but rather, part of the same clustered column?  If so, how is this accomplished?

 

Some context:  There is one measure from another table (most recent data) that I need to add to the clustered column chart.  It would be great to avoid appending/merging queries from separate tables to try to accomplish this (using the standard clustered chart with a single axis).

 

Thank You!

Generally, the bottom chart is what I'm working on, but I'm only able to drag one field into the Y-axis bucket.  If I drag a second item into it, the field that's in there gets deleted/replaced by the new (2nd) item.  How do I prevent it from being automatically removed?...I see in your pic that two items are in the Y-axis bucket.

 

Thank You!

Hi @GiveMeArrays ,

The fields which I apply in Y-axis bucket are measures, could you please provide the related info of the fields which you apply in Y-axis bucket(For example: sample data, Fields setting of your visual and screenshot etc.)? 

 It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Yep, in my Y-axis I'm trying to put two measures using the clustered column chart; both are count measures relating to dates.  For security, I cannot share data or screenshots.

 

Thank You!

Hi @GiveMeArrays ,

OK, understand. Could you please just provide some fake data with Text format, the fields applied on the clustered column chart and the formula of these two measures? Later I will make troubleshooting based on your provided info and give you a suitable solution. Thank you.

Best Regards
