Hi, I have some data which are single record for different combinations with columns for yearly spend. Here's some mock data:
I want to be able to chart the data that each year is the X axis label then I can have the stacks as the Brand/Category/Market such as the below which I can do using a stack column and switch row/column when pivoting the data in excel.
Chart 1:
When I try to do this in power BI I can only get the following chart and can't figure out how to switch row/column
Chart 2:
Any way I can turn chart 2 into chart 1 in PowerBI?
if the data you bringing is in the same format as your table above. Then you will need to pivot the data, by going into transform data and highlight the column years and go to the transform/Unpivot columns. Your data should look something like this now. close and apply Now you should be able to pivot the data in the format you want.
