I am using this You Tube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POCCTdiWjls to put in the line stacked bar chart
When i place the 3 calculated columns (Target, Unmet Bar, Met Bar) into the column y- axis PBI puts in a count on it.
i want the actual percentage to be displayed.
Note: I can't do the formulas in a measure like this video because the calculations are not the same. I don’t have Sales Data.
Here are the calculations:
Target is the value in the table, like .85,1 , etc
UnmetBar =
IF('Vertical Table'[Target] > 'Vertical Table'[Actual],
'Vertical Table'[Actual] - 'Vertical Table'[Target]
)
MetBar =
IF('Vertical Table'[Actual] > 'Vertical Table'[Target],
'Vertical Table'[Actual] - 'Vertical Table'[Target]
)
When I move the Target, Met Bar and Unmet Bar fields to the column y-axis , it wants to perform a count, sum, min, max. There is no option to leave out performing any calculation. I just want the value to be shown on the chart.
If there actual is larger than the target, display that in red and if the target is > then the actual then display it in blue. I don’t need the gray bar to display the sales.
The video shows a Total Target and displays that on the Line y-axis. Do I just leave that off of my PBI?
I have the 3 columns above, Target, Met Bar and Unmet Bar as follows:
How do I solve this issue. I see posts like mine but don’t see an actual response when they ask the PBI community.
I have the Target and Actual as a decimal number in the table.

Here is the Visual. It stops at KR#3.1 and I don’t know why. Will it be corrected when PBI is no longer doing a count?
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Sounds like you were going for calculated columns rather than measures?
I figured out my issue so no need to address my question.
Correct. As I mention in my post, I can't do the formulas in a measure like this video because the calculations are not the same. I don’t have Sales Data.
It errors out if I do a measure with the calculations I have. I had to choose calculated columns.
How can I resolve this to not sum up the values or any other calculation.
