Graph Suggestion

Hi everyone,

 

My client requires a certain type of graph, and I can't seem to find anything like it.

The bars are all different categories, like industry, or facility or something and the magnitude of their X values determines their width.

 

Has anyone seen something like this? On the marketplace or otherwise?

 

Thanks

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

It is unavailable that the magnitude of their X values determines their width. I'd like to suggest you post a new idea in Idea Forum , and add your comments there to improve Power BI for making this feature coming sooner.

 

Best Regards

Allan

Had a thought about how to pull this off but couldn't quite bring it home. You might get an idea or two from it so figured I'd post it anyway.

Hi @Greg_Deckler 

 

I went down another path that ended up not working. Can you explain what you did in your solution and I can try that? I'm not sure how you have it set up.

Did you get the PBIX that was attached? I can take a look at it and remind myself what I did.

Sorry, I missed that pbix. I downloaded it and took a look. Can you please explain the DAX table that you made?

 

Also, was there a reason to use a clustered column chart? I tried switching it to stacked and got closer to the visual I'm looking for:

Basically my data has facilities, a value and production:

FacilityValueProduction
East50450
West200900
North35250
South120340

 

The width of the column is actually the % total of production, so the X axis adds up to 100%. For the East facility, the Y axis value would be 50, but the X-axis width would be ~23.2%, or 50 high and 23.2 across. Am I going about this all wrong? Should I be using a 100% stacked column chart? The user wants to be able to see, at a glance, what the value is for a facility and their % of total production.
