stacked column chart with overlapping columns

[Anonymous]

Dear community, 

I have the visula below: 

which is a line and clustered column chart. The problem here is that the numbers in each column are coming on top of each other, instead of starting from zero, and that ends up to a max in my y axis which is wrong. 

How can I start the column values from zero?? In other words how can I make the columns overlap??

If you are interested in just the visual, and you can do without the labels, you could create DAX to create the correct overlapping values, such as making new measures:

• Min Val = MIN(Table[Column])
• Min to Avg Val = AVERAGE(Table[Column]) - Table[Min Val]
• Avg to Max Val = MAX(Table[Column]) - Table[Min to Avg Val]

Then use a stacked column chart with the following values in the Y-axis:

1. Min Val
2. Min to Avg Val
3. Avg to Max Val

Is it possible in Power BI to create a bar chart that looks like this?  This is overlapping bars.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my research there is no option in Power Bi like the one which is available in Excel to overlap series.

@Anonymous not sure what you are trying to achieve, what you mean by number overlap? Can you elaborate a bit more?

@parry2k , if you look at the first column, you see two numbers : 1546 and 1745. What I want is that these numbers strat from zero, means the dark blue side of the column (the upper part) should end at 1745, not at 3000
