Horizontal Stacked bar chart - unable to see y-axis values

Hello,

My horizontal stacked bar chart works correctly, but the the y-axis does not display all the possible values.

For example, I have 4 different period data classification and has 3 different color coding to differentiate each stage in each period.

 

3 color codes - New (black), In Progress (Green), Completed (Blue)

4 different periods are - Jan - Mar, Apr - June, Jul - Sep, Oct - Dec

 

So the number of tasks allocated by a department is showing correctly for color coding and for the periods but on my Y-axis I am able to see only Apri-June as the level.

 

appreciate if someone please advise or guide me if I am missing something to unhide or remove filters?

 

Thanks

Hi @ashraparas ,

 

(1) In the Home tab, click on “Transform data” to go to the Power query. This is my test data.

(2) Select the “color” column and click “unpivot other columns”.

(4) Click Close and Apply in the Home tab and go back to PBI Desktop, then you can follow my last reply and create the calculated column and then the visual objects.

Hi @ashraparas ,

 

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data. 

vtangjiemsft_0-1727234349495.png

(2) We can create a calculated column.

Column = SWITCH('Table'[Periods],
"Jan - Mar","Cherry st",
"Apr - June","strawberry mall",
"Jul - Sep","peach st",
"Oct - Dec","lime av")

(3) Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

 

Best Regards,

Neeko Tang

hi @v-tangjie-msft  - thanks for such a detailed reply, I have tried the steps but it does not work.

Will try to create a sample data and share.

 

Hi @ashraparas ,

 

Could you tell me if your problem has been solved?  If resolved, please share your solution.  More people will benefit from it. If not, please provide your example data and expected results.

Hi @v-tangjie-msft - probably near to the solution but my data is slightly different.

For example the period is a column heading, and the task closed during that period gets counted as 1, if not closed it will be zero. My problem is how do I combine these calculated columns to one column as you have shown above such that the y-axis can show each the sum (or aggregate) of each period bars whether there is data or not. Currently, I can see the bars correctly but the heading will only show one period name on the left. It is actually considering it as hierarchy instead of individual y axis points / levels.

 

Jan - Mar     Apr-Jun

@v-cgao-msft  - please could you assist? I have 4 formulas as different period and I want to show them as per the sample image above on yaxis. I was able to do this in tableau easily but Power BI does not show in similar format unless they are grouped as one, will that work? Please advise.

Do I need to use SWTICH Formula to combine the different periods?

For example this is the final output I am looking to achieve in the stacked bar chart but it does not show the individual levels on the Y axis like below Cherry St, Strawberry mall, Peach St., etc

Please note that the bars are visible, just the level name is not

Hi,

 

Can you provide a screenshot of the problem?

@ebee - see above

It is not a screenshot of the problem, but of a hoped for end result instead.
