How to label a clustered column chart with a tooltip, or alternative label

Hi,

 

I have a clustered chart which shows the values on the Y axis as millions of pounds.

However, I would like to show the labels as % of Total Balance instead, which I have created as a measure value.

 

I have used this as a tooltip on the chart, but am unable to override the current £ label with the %, which is what I want to show.

 

Is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks

You can do this with the new Charticulator visual in Power BI.  You can see this video to get started.  Once you make the bar chart, you can add a text box to display the additional measure you've made and added to the visual.
