Tool Tip , Colors in Power BI

Hello All,

 

I recently moved to Power BI. I have been working with Tableau from a While so I am having hard time with Power BI. Here are 3 thinks I am looking to do .

1. I have Total Used Budget and Total Budget column. Based on that I calculated %used Measure. Everything is good but I need to get %used Lable on my bar chart. See the attached screenshot. Dark Green bar is Total Budget and Light Green is budget Used. 56.39% is %used lable. How to add that %used lable in Bar Char??

2. I am also looking to add a filed in Tooltip that is not in the chart and removed all other fileds.  I don't need a lable like Object or FirstObjectDescription. I just need Object number and Object Description. 

I am looking for this.

3. Is it possible to color 1 bar in mutiple colors like the one below?? It is same as Total budget and Total USed Budget but the Ttotal Used Budget has 2-3 difrenet category so I would like to dipslay each category and their ratio in color code.

If you want to customize tooltip instead of using default tooltip, please refer to this article.

>>Is it possible to color 1 bar in mutiple colors like the one below?? 

For the following chart, the color of data color is fixed.

Hello, Please find my question or solution in Bold 

 

I have Total Used Budget and Total Budget column. Based on that I calculated %used Measure. Everything is good but I need to get %used Lable on my bar chart. See the attached screenshot. Dark Green bar is Total Budget and Light Green is budget Used. 56.39% is %used lable. How to add that %used lable in Bar Char??

Data lable only allows for the fileds that are in current Chart. I just have Total Used and total Budget in Chart not %used so I am not getting any option to add %used in Data Lable.  I definately need an help how to acheive this. 

2. I am also looking to add a filed in Tooltip that is not in the chart and removed all other fileds.  I don't need a lable like Object or FirstObjectDescription. I just need Object number and Object Description. 

I solved this by creating Custom ToolTip. 

3. Is it possible to color 1 bar in mutiple colors like the one below?? It is same as Total budget and Total USed Budget but the Ttotal Used Budget has 2-3 difrenet category so I would like to dipslay each category and their ratio in color code. 

 I got this from ctrating mutiple measures and It gave me required result. 

 

I do apppreaciate your help. 

 

Thanks,

Krishna
