Post PatronHow to make clustered column chart columns overlap?
Hi, I would like to reduce the spacing between 2 columns and make them overlap like below. In previous version of Power BI desktop, there was an option to reduce the padding between the columns, but it's not available in the new version. Any suggestion? In actual fact, I am trying to show budget vs actual and would like to show them in 1 column. Thanks

Hi spagad6263
We have an overlapping formatting option in the clustered graph.
You can get something very similar using this option + boarding.The pbix is attached

Hi Rita - I just discovered the overlap option and it's super helpful. However, I notice that when i activate the new "on-object interaction" it disappears 😞
Is this option going away?

Hi Ritaf1983 , below is what I've got. Thanks so much for the help. You are amazing!
Btw, I've set the transparancy on [Actual] column to 50%, so the border shows if actual is below budget.
