Power BI Clustered Column Chart Legend Behaviour
- 5 months ago
Hi Brandon_Soon,
Workaround is to create a combined field i.e., Region - Sales Person. X-axis: Region - Sales Person, Y-axis: Profit Margin, Legend: Region

Thanks for testing that!
Unfortunately there seems to be no way around that behaviour when using a Small multiples field.
The values displayed on all X-axes are identical. The axis values included are those for which the measure is nonblank in at least one small multiple. The normal blank-hiding rules don't appear to apply in this case 😞
Alternatively, you may want to consider a custom visual like Deneb where things can be customized and the x-axes made independent. See attached PBIX where you can examine the Vega-lite specification I used on the Deneb page.
There is more effort involved to format a Deneb visual set up in this way, however.
You may also want to consider krishnakanth240 's suggestion.
Note: I used Stacked column rather than Clustered column in my earlier examples.
Regards
Hi Krishnakanth
That was what I've done for my first screenshot. The results made the bar skinny , I was just wondering if there is a way to make the width of the bar wider after adding on the legend field.
