Creating a simple horizontal bar chart
Hello! This is what I'm tyring to recreate in PowerBI
I don't need mulple colors overlapping to represent different things, to start.
I figured the best way to make this would be a clustered bar chart. It currently looks like this
1) How can I make the bar area take up the majority of the visual area? I feel like this is a result of mkaing this clustered bar chart... but the stacked bar chart isn't what I want.
2) How can I make the data labels (shown current on the bottom) instead be located either next to or within the correct bars they represent? Just like the image I'm trying to recreate?
3) Is a clustered bar chart even the correct route to go?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Anonymous ,
Based on your description, I think [stacked bar chart] and [clustered bar chart] and custom visual horizontal bar charts will meet your needs.
(1) This is my test data.
(2) We can create a [stacked bar chart] or [clustered bar chart]. As shown in the following image, place the field and open the data label.
(3) You can refer to these documents to learn about using custom visuals.
