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.

The problem is drill-downs do not work on dashboards, hence the heirarchy cannot be used on dashboards. How difficult is it custom build this visual?
There are paid visuals on appsource now (starting at $7 or so) that can get this done easily
Appsource - Clustered Stacked Column ChartThis link effectively shows the steps of what you mention regarding the column for types and drilldown:

Vote for the idea... I am trying to do the same thing.

You have to structure your data like this example before using it in power BI.
Hi Guys
I know there is no provision to create a clustered stacked column chart in PowerBI directly. But at times we have no option but to create the same to meet project demand. We have tried to tweak a little and build something which is close to clustered stacked column chart to meet our requirement. I am sharing the screen shot for same. We created it using black columns. In case you want to know more about solution, do ping me @ [email protected]
Thanks
