Only solved because currently it can not be done.   The answwer was correct.   I would hope like many things they had lots of optiosn available in Excel Pivot Tables.

i can't understand that it is solved. also this video shows working with old PowerBI version. The problem is In the new version there is no more stacked bar.

sorry amitchandak, but in your video you are working with an older version. in the newer version i can't find the concatenate labels either, or can i switch off the concatenate labels differently, would be cool, otherwise you can't use the power BI anymore, because it is then extremely confusing?
