How do I make this visual ?
- 11 months ago
Hi topazz11
Start by unpivoting all columns except Group. Then, use a stacked bar and line combo chart. Create two measures for the column series: the lower bar should be set to transparent, and the upper bar should represent the ± range stacked on top of it. For the line series, set the line width to zero so it’s hidden, but keep the markers enabled and visible. Finally, adjust the min and max values of the y-axis for both the line and the columns so they share the same scale using conditional formatting.
The second image below uses the combo chart. Would have been with a line chart with error bars but there is a limit as to how wide the error bars can be.
Please see the attached pbix.
Hi topazz11 ,
You can use a Clustered Column Chart for Steps A & B and add reference lines for ±10% and ±30% via the Analytics pane.
Optionally, create a DAX measure for % change between steps and apply conditional colors:
Green = within ±10%
Yellow = ±10–30%
Red = >±30%
Alternatively, try Bullet Chart by OKViz or a Variance Chart for a cleaner visual showing thresholds.
This will let you clearly see step differences and target ranges in one visual.

And if you found this helpful, I’d really appreciate a Kudo .
tested the Clustered Column Chart. I can add reference line but how do i change the blue bar to dot or star?

Hi again
You can’t directly turn bars into dots in a Clustered Column Chart.
Options:
Use a Scatter Chart and set marker shape to dot/star.
Use a Custom Visual like Bullet Chart by OKViz or Icon Chart.
Combine Column Chart + Scatter Marker for actual/target values.
Easiest approach: Scatter Chart or Bullet Chart.
