Creating a constant line for each bar in a bar chart

Hey everyone,

 

I have a short question of what the best way would be to eachieve something like this.

In my report I have a Bar chart, with 10 different bars. I'm looking to create a target line for each individual bar (illustrated below with red lines)

 

So for the first bar, they have achieved 59,8%, when their target was 61%. 

For the second bar, they have achieved 38,9%, when their target was 41%, Etc.

As far as I'm aware, this is not possible with the default bar chart in Powerbi. So maybe I need to create 10 individual bullet charts?

Any suggestions? 😄

 

thanks.

Try the custom visual bullet chart.

Ah I see. I checked out another bulletchart and that supported the features that I needed. 

 

Thanks.

To my knowledge it is not possible to have multiple constant lines in the way that the image is displaying. What you could do instead is create another measure that calculates the difference between target and actual. 

The only concern about this is that you will no longer see the target line once it's passed.
