clustered bar chart - multiple columns from two sources

I have a bar chart that shows the number of items of a particular status by Design team (see chart below).   I would like to had columns by Design team that counts items by of a particular type as well.    For each team, it would show a column for each of the following:

 

  • Open
  • Closed
  • Ready to Inspect
  • Work Completed
  • Non-Conforming
  • RFI

 

Is there a way to do this?

Hi @thehowlerr,

 

You could create a new table, which will summarize the table by "type" and "status". Then you can create visuals with the new table. Any new data added into the old table will be updated in the new table automatically. Please have a try.

 

ResultTable =
UNION (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'DataTable',
        'DataTable'[Status],
        'DataTable'[Design Team Report],
        "value", COUNT ( 'DataTable'[Status] )
    ),
    SUMMARIZE (
        'DataTable',
        'DataTable'[Type],
        'DataTable'[Design Team Report],
        "value", COUNT ( 'DataTable'[Type] )
    )
)

I paste your data in text mode in case somebody wants to have a try.

NC	Open	C7A
NC	Closed	N/A
NC	Closed	PP
RFI	Closed	WS
NC	Ready to Inspect	PP
NC	Open	PP
