Clustered bar chart with bubbles for each bar on a 2nd y-axis

Hello and thank you for giving this a look.

 

I am trying to re-create the chart I made in Excel below in PowerBI, so far with little success.

 

Sample pbix file is below. I need to display count of 'Name' for each 'Amount' bucket in the clustered columns on first y-axis. The second y-axis should display average 'Cost' for each bucket in the bubbles/dots. X-axis contains 'Date 1'.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @YevD ,

I can't find the proper visual which same with the one in report page "Stacked chart w XY bubbles". I reupdate your sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check whether that can be used for a workaround... And currently we CAN NOT apply multiple fields on Legend Fields, you can raise a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thank you so much for this. The grouping of amount is eaxactly what I was looking for. Do you know if there is a way to display average of 'Cost' for each bar? 

 

Also, is there a way I can sort the groups in ascending order?
