Clustered Column with Year Month Labels

How would one go about creating something this in Power BI?

Hi @bdehning ,

 

Tested with the native bar chart in Power BI. Unfortunately, there is no such option to not concatenate the year and month labels which is possible with a column chart.

This is the closest I could get to

Here's how I achieved the above:

Make sure you have a separate column for Years and Months and add them to Y-Axis

Add your values to X-Axis.

Click the Expand all down one level in hierarchy icon

Yes that worked as best it could. 

 

Now how to I make the chart continous to eliminate scroll bars?

What do you mean by continuous?
