Line and clustered column chart - Comparing MoM
Hi allanthanh,
In your scenario, what's the desired results do you want? If you only want to display Cost 2016 and Clicks 2016 in the chart, please remove Cost 2015 and Clicks 2015 field from the chart. If possible please share the .pbix file for our analysis.

v-qiuyu-msft, Thanks for the reply. I am essentially trying to recreate this chart in Power BI instead of Excel. Is it not possible?

The Issue I have with the Line and Clustered Column Chart is the following:
and I don't know if there's really a solution other than creating individual Measures for the LIne Values
The Column Series automatically slice the data into years however I wish they would do the the same for the Line Values!
(I do realize it says Column Series so it slices the Data only for the Column Values)
However I wish this actually acted more I guess like a Legend (slicing both Measures for the Columns and the Lines)
Hopefully this example will illustrate...
So here's my setup
Shared Axis - Month
Column Series - Year
Column Values - Volume
Line Values - Avg Price (represented by Green Line in picture)
PLUS a Year Slicer!
So by default you'll automatically get a column for each Year with only one Measure in the Column Series.
However if you do not write explicit Measures for the years selected
you'll get 1 line averaging each Month's price over all years selected - the one in green.
To get the individual lines you have to write separate Measures!
Hope this makes sense...
I hope they add a feature like this someday in the not too distant future :smileyhappy:
Thanks! :smileyhappy:
Any suggestions are welcomed:smileyhappy:

Sean Wow this actually helped a ton. So I got it to compare my costs by month side by side. But my clicks (line value) is just showing the average. Is there a line series function like the column one has for these types of chart? Because I want it to show my 2015 clicks & 2016 clicks as lines.
