    Hi amitchandak ,

     

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    Here is a little more context I neglected in my original post. 

     

    I can make the expected bar chart using wide data.

     

     

    However, when I use long data, I do not achieve the same visual.

     

    I've gotten closer by creating a calculated column. 

    Total Hours = ('Tutorial Log_Long'[30-minute Sessions]*.5)
     
    Maybe my question should be, am I using the correct calculated measure or column?
     
    I would like to display the total hours in decimal form.
     
    I would like to use long data because I use it in the rest of my dashboard. 
     
    Let me know if what I am saying makes any sense.
     
    Appreciate the nudge.
