Please help me if anyone know the solution of this problem.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

What is the data type of your x-axis value? It must be  text in your sample screenshot.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I suggest you use clustered column chart. And you can change your Goal(%) measure to 

 

NEWGoal(%) = IF(MAX(Table[Column]) = "FY21Q2",[Goal(%)],0)

 

And you visual will be like:

HI @Anonymous 

 

I would create two charts and place them side by side with no borders. first chart with Bluedata and second one with green data considering you already have the below calculated values.

1.sum of sales(%)

2.Goal(%)

We did like that but after we are facing issue to export the data.

Is it posibble to export  the data in one excel to see both sales and goals data?

@Anonymous , create a measure that only shows a goal for the current period and sales which does not show for the current period and but them on the clustered bar visual
