Stacked column

Is it possible in Power BI to create a stacked column within a visual where the general chart type is a clustered column chart (i.e., normal single-value columns)?

I would like most of the columns to be displayed normally, but for one specific category I want to show a stacked column (two values stacked together) — without changing the entire visual to a stacked column chart.

I know that I could manually simulate this by overlaying two visuals. However, the problem is that my report is linked to PowerPoint via a live connection, and when using two visuals, it does not render properly in the PowerPoint presentation.

Is there a native solution or a clean workaround for this situation?

Hi @Riccardo98 - Natively, Power BI does not support mixing stacked and clustered columns in a single column chart visual.

Since you need the live PowerPoint link to work cleanly, the best approach would be Deneb or Charticulator
