PowerBI Stacked Column Chart with 2 Metrics Y - axis scaling issue

I have a requirement to add two measures in stacked column chart
where the isssue is that when we have two measures the y axis is been doubled for two measures
Example : Total Price  is 30M and  MTD Price is 15M and the Y- axis being added as 45M instead 30m where 15m is not been fitted into 30M.
where I should get the Yaxis like below Sample:

Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin  , please allow me to provide another insight.

 

Hi, @DivyaN ,

 

In a stacked column chart, on the Y-axis, multiple measures are stacked.


You might consider using another visual, such as a clustered column chart.
Display the two measures in two separate columns.

It works exactly as it should. You need to modify your second measure to reduce the value accordingly.
