Hi, my client requested to create a chart that combine stacked and column chart together.
From my research, most of the solution only say "You can't"
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Clustered-stacked-column-chart/m-p/144714
also, there are custom visual from 3rd party company, which I can't use due to security reason
http://www.defteam.com/stacked-clustered-bar-chart/
I mean, Are there any workaround to get into that chart, i.,e. manipulating the data so the axis can be adjusted (there are tips in excel to manipulating the axis, but i am not sure how to do it in powerBI) ?

Hi @andrehawari
Currently, It is not possible to create a Combination of Stacked and Column Chart, you can vote for this idea.
A workaround described in the fiist link would like below

I have put together this solution that uses measures and is not depending on the data structure to be in just one table if it's still interesting.

I followed this and my X axis are United States Forecast, United States Actual, United Kingdom Forecast, United Kingdom Actual - even with turning concat off. I cannot get Country on a seperate line.
Hi @andrehawari
You can do that in another way, create a hierarchy of Country=>Type and use that value in the x-axis, and use `Type->Cost` as the legend.
I think this would help you to get what you are looking for.
The below Image will give you more clarity.
you can vote for this idea.
HI Partik ,
i need to remove space beween forecast and actual bars and need space after country grouped bars ,it is possible ?
@PratikB Hi Pratik - Do you happen to have a sample pbix of this that you could share?
I followed this but when I drill through I get United States Forecast, United States Actual, United Kingdom Forecast, United Kingdom Actual. I don't get the Country on a seperate line for X axis; even with turning concat off.
