    Hi brandondg2017 ,

    Please create a new measure like.

    Total = SUM('Table'[Sales]) + SUM('Table'[Profit])

    And then add a clustered column chart. or consider use starcked column chart with 2 measures.

     

    Best Regards,

ODBC lets you access QuickBooks Desktop data by connecting through the right driver. Just make sure QuickBooks is running with your company file open and you have the correct driver installed. Running QuickBooks as admin helps prevent permission issues. If you want a smoother way to get your QuickBooks data into BI tools without extra setup, tools like Skyvia can sync your data easily and without coding.

I was looking at Skyvia and I got QB connected to it but then it says that I need to connect it to a data warehouse is that correct?
