Clustered stacked column chart
trev_likes_PBI
In Power BI Desktop, it’s not possible to create a chart which can combine both Clustered and Stacked column chart together. Because it can’t determine which group of series need to be “clustered”, which group of series need to be “stacked”. And it’s still not supported to add multiple fields into Legend of a chart. The expected result as you posted can’t be achieved. For your requirement, I suggest you add a column to assign type “Forecast” and “Actual”, then build a hierarchy like “Type->Cost”. Put the hierarchy on X-axis, you suppose to drill down the detail level to see those different costs.

I've put a solution together in this blog post if it's still interesting after all these years since this thread was posted 🙂

Brilliant solution! I had a tinker with it for a while. my SQL was already extracting the year as a seperate column as a string, not a Date type. I'm not sure what I did but eventually it just worked somehow and I got a Clustered Stacked graph exactly how I wanted! You're the best!! hanks for sharing the pbix file on your blog as well.
