Hello All,
I'm trying to implement a Stacked Column chart where instead of showing absolute numbers, I wanted the break-up by percentages.
Please note, I don't want a 100% Stacked column chart as I don't want all X-axis values to amount to 100% rather it should be their absolute values which determine the length of the data bars.
Please refer the dummy data set and the graph I'm trying to depict. For now, I have achieved this by showing in Tooltips (using ALLEXCEPT) but the users tend to take printouts than use the dashboards ☹️ . This implies I need to present percentages in the graph and not in tooltips.
Country | Sales | Business/Customer |
France | 2000 | B |
France | 1000 | C |
UK | 3000 | B |
UK | 2000 | C |
Germany | 4000 | B |
Germany | 1000 | C |
Spain | 2000 | B |
Netherlands | 2000 | B |
Netherlands | 500 | C |
Italy | 1000 | B |
Italy | 200 | C |
Portugal | 1200 | B |
Portugal | 300 | C |
The visual I'm trying to generate is provided below.
Note: I have posted this in DAX group a month back, and I haven't got a clear answer. I'm keen to know, if this can be done in Power BI.
Thanks,
Varun
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous I don;t think it is not possible, basically you want Y - Axis values to be absolute number but show % as data label, and currently it is not possible to show custom data labels. Having said that, add this as an ideas forum or vote for an existing idea if exists.

Many thanks for your response.
I'm more looking something like this:
The bar length would be based on the absolute country sales, whereas the percentages would amount to 100% for each country.

@parry2k Any updates on that? We are still stuck trying to make this work and clearly cannot be done. Another feature needs to be added... this can easily be done on Excel but not powerbi
