Stacked Column Chart : add Total column

Hello the community,

 

Sorry if my message has already been posted, but I am pretty sure you will find the answer quickly

 

Here my data :

 

 

Here the result and until here everything is fine:

 

What I want to do is to add a simple total column like under excel :

 

 

I already found a trick by duplicating the chart and then removing the range value.

And then to finish trying to connect the two graphics as well as possible

but I don't find this solution very convenient.

 

Do you have other tricks please ?

 

Many thanks,

 

Pierre

 

  • PierreL69 solution attached, here are the steps:

     

    - unpivot your original table in power query

    - create new range table from original table and added a Total row

    - create relationship between two tables on Range

    - add measure to check if Total then add all values otherwise simple sum

    - on visual, use Range on x-axis from new table called Range and on value use measure and legend is Type

      Thank you very much !

      The final result is perfect, much more better than my trick

       

      But is this the easiest solution to generate a total?

      Because I still find it not very intuitive when you have limited knowledge about Power BI

       

      I was hoping there would be a simple button or option to add this total.

      In any case, a big thank you
