Multi X Axis with different Columns/Measures.

Hey Anonymous ,

To achieve a Power BI visual like the one you sketched with multi-bar (column) visuals showing QTD, YTD, Current Month, and Current Year comparisons based on Average Price.

Objective

Create two visuals (for Supplier A and B) showing Average Price = Total Sales / Total Qty

With these metrics on the X-axis:

• QTD (Quarter-To-Date)

• YTD (Year-To-Date)

• M (Current Month)

• Y (Current Year Total)

Step 1: Build Measures

In your Power BI data model, create measures using DAX:

AvgPrice_QTD :=
VAR QTD_Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Sales]), DATESQTD('Table'[Date]))
VAR QTD_Qty = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Qty]), DATESQTD('Table'[Date]))
RETURN DIVIDE(QTD_Sales, QTD_Qty)

AvgPrice_YTD :=
VAR YTD_Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Sales]), DATESYTD('Table'[Date]))
VAR YTD_Qty = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Qty]), DATESYTD('Table'[Date]))
RETURN DIVIDE(YTD_Sales, YTD_Qty)

AvgPrice_Month :=
VAR M_Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Sales]), DATESMTD('Table'[Date]))
VAR M_Qty = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Qty]), DATESMTD('Table'[Date]))
RETURN DIVIDE(M_Sales, M_Qty)

AvgPrice_Year :=
VAR YearStart = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), 1, 1)
VAR Y_Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Sales]), 'Table'[Date] >= YearStart)
VAR Y_Qty = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Qty]), 'Table'[Date] >= YearStart)
RETURN DIVIDE(Y_Sales, Y_Qty)

Step 2: Create an Unpivoted Supporting Table for Visual

Create a new table:

AvgPriceView =
DATATABLE(
    "Period", STRING,
    "MeasureName", STRING,
    {
        {"QTD", "AvgPrice_QTD"},
        {"YTD", "AvgPrice_YTD"},
        {"M", "AvgPrice_Month"},
        {"Y", "AvgPrice_Year"}
    }
)

Then, create a switch measure:

AvgPrice_Switch :=
SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE(AvgPriceView[MeasureName]),
    "AvgPrice_QTD", [AvgPrice_QTD],
    "AvgPrice_YTD", [AvgPrice_YTD],
    "AvgPrice_Month", [AvgPrice_Month],
    "AvgPrice_Year", [AvgPrice_Year]
)

Step 3: Create the Visual

1. Use a Column Chart.

2. Place AvgPriceView[Period] on the X-axis.

3. Use the AvgPrice_Switch as Values (Y-axis).

4. Add a Slicer for Supplier to allow dynamic filtering between Supplier A and B.

Hi Anonymous ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.

As correctly explained by danextian  and Nasif_Azam , using a calculation group on the X-axis will display QTD, MTD, YTD, and Year as separate categories in a single visual. Just ensure "Concatenate labels" is turned off if the labels aren’t showing properly.
