Parent and child on the same axis in bar chart

[AshishJuneja]

Hi,

I have a customer requirement to show the parent bar along with it's child bars in a bar chart.

For example, If we have the following hierachy:  Global --> Region --> Country --> State --> District.

The top level bar graph will contain one bar for Global and one bar for each Region.

Second level will contain one bar for the Region which is drilled down and one bar for each Country.

Third level will contain one bar for the Country which is drilled down and one bar for each State.

Hope the question is clear. 

I would really appreciate some help here. 

Thanks.

Hi @AshishJuneja ,

Try this:

Reogin Country = 
UNION (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Region] ),
        "Order",
            CALCULATE (
                DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Region] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Region] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Region] ) )
            )
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Country] ),
        "Order",
            CALCULATE (
                DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Country] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Country] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Country] ) )
            )
                + DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Region] )
    )
)

Country State = 
UNION (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Country] ),
        "Order",
            CALCULATE (
                DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Country] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Country] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Country] ) )
            )
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[State] ),
        "Order",
            CALCULATE (
                DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[State] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[State] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[State] ) )
            )
                + DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Country] )
    )
)

State District = 
UNION (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[State] ),
        "Order",
            CALCULATE (
                DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[State] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[State] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[State] ) )
            )
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[District] ),
        "Order",
            CALCULATE (
                DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[District] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[District] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[District] ) )
            )
                + DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[State] )
    )
)

Modified Measure = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISFILTERED ( 'State District'[State] ),
        IF (
            MAX ( 'State District'[State] ) IN VALUES ( 'Table'[District] ),
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[Measure] ),

                        && 'Table'[Country] = MAX ( 'Reogin Country'[Region] )
                        && 'Table'[State] = MAX ( 'Country State'[Country] )
                )
            ),

                        && 'Table'[State] = MAX ( 'Country State'[Country] )
                )
            )
        ),

                )
            )
        ),
    ISFILTERED ( 'Reogin Country'[Region] ),
        IF (
            MAX ( 'Reogin Country'[Region] ) IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Country] ),
            CALCULATE (

Thanks @TheoC for the quick response. You can assume the data to be like as given below. I have tried reformatting the data to achieve the same but it didn't work out. To provide further details, I tried create a row for total for each parent at the child row, so that i can get it at the same axis, but with multiple hierarchy and drill down required, it is not working as expected. If you have any other ideas that will be very helpful. 

Region	Country	State	District	Measure
R	P	W	A	100
R	P	W	B	200
R	P	X	C	300
R	P	X	D	400
R	Q	Y	E	500
R	Q	Y	F	600
R	Q	Z	G	700
R	Q	Z	H	800

Requirement: Initially, Show a bar for Region and two bar for Countries(P and Q).

When drilled down on P, the chart will show one bar for P and two bars for it;s two children(W and X) and so on.

Thanks.

Hi @AshishJuneja 

Beautiful! You can just layer the columns under the X Axis like the below screenshot. From here, you can then just use the drilldown buttons on the visual to get to next layer 🙂

I have also attached PBIX to further assist.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @TheoC,

With the given solution I can see all the sub categories but that is not what I intend to achieve. What I need is: 

Initially, Show a bar for Region and two bar for Countries(P and Q).

When drilled down on P, the chart will show one bar for P and two bars for it's two children(W and X) and so on.

Thanks.

Hi @AshishJuneja 

Set it up like the below image and then use the Single Drill Down button (updated PBIX attached).

Hope this helps 🙂

[TheoC]

Hi @AshishJuneja 

Depending on how the your data is structured, you should be able to layer the hierarchy in order on the X-Axis field in the Visualisation pane and then use the drilldown feature on the chart itself to go down to the next level(s).

If the above doesn't assist, can you provide an example of your data.

Thank you 🙂
