How to create bar graphs using measures as columns of a table

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a comparison bar graph (i used clustered column chart) using measures that are calculated off of columns of the same fact table. Basically the comparison is against Prior year. However, i am unable to replicate a similar one that can be easily picked up creating a manul table in excel(below snapshot). In the below graph, i have components of X-axis as measures Like Resource payroll, Load,seat and other, Other, Travel etc which are all measures (blue bars for actuals compared to PY orange bars). I tried creating a separate table using these measures as columns in PBi but didnt work. Any suggestions?Graph.PNG

@sujitjena , PBI does not support legend with multiple measures. You need to have

Resource payroll, Load,seat and other has dimension values and year as legend

What error are you getting while creating a column and what is your formula?

 

@Anonymous :  Basically i tried columnadd and row functions to create a new table but both of them returned syntax errors which mean i may not have used them correctly. I have 2 measures each for actual and PY for all those components shown in the graph.
