    The reason why this is different in Power BI as compared to EXCEL is due to the missing Index column.

     

    In excel if you have your data with an index column like this below, you get the chart as follows:

    In Power BI bring in the data with the index column, otherwise how will Power BI know which AD/TD category corresponds to which Quarter:

    The trick in Power BI is to use Index along with ITEM column on x-axis, so that Power BI can differentiate between TD/AD for each Quarter.

    But this adds INDEX value to the x-axis along with ITEM value.

     

    I am not sure if you can modify your data somehow to make it easier to get represented in Power BI.

     

    Thanks,
