Hi @cyborgandy ,

The bar chart can't apply category fields on both the X-axis and Y-axis. You can consider putting another category field under the Legend option or under the Small multiples option as shown below.

And you can raise a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

Best Regards

@cyborgandy , With Column stacked chart

X-axis - need to be categorical like date, period, item, etc

Y-Axis - measures /Value
