Unable to find visual to show total amount with percentages

I have data like this 

End CustomerSALES_AMOUNT_ Discount_ Total minus discount
Customer 1560105430%70%
Customer 2534921430%70%
Customer 3432168029%71%
Customer 4338191430%70%
Customer 5302772838%62%
Customer 6297226225%75%
Customer 7275178844%56%

 

I want to build a graph like the below.

 

Green is the discount. Grey is the 4th percentage in the above table. On top is the total sales.

Hi @darshaningale ,

What you want to achieve is currently not possible in PowerBI Desktop, you can try the following alternatives.

Solution 1, Stacked column chart(povit the column : _Discount ,_Total minus discount),and add  Total sales amount to tooltips,you could sort by Total sales amount)

Hey @darshaningale ,

How about this?

I used 100% Stacked Column Chart.

Set my Axis to customer and sales amount and values to discount and total minus discount.

Which gave me the chart with just the customer on it. Then I exapanded the hierarchy:

I do not need 100% stacked column. The bars would be sorted based on Total sales amount and not percentage.
