I have one report that contain multiple columns (Status 1 to status 7) with different status (Okay, Not Okay, Completed and Not completed), each columns has different count with different status.
Example; Status 1 has two different status which is "Okay" and "Not Okay", "Okay" count has 6039 and "Not okay" count has 13.
I summarised the data of each status for your reference. (Data prepared manually)
At the moment I am using 7 different charts, is there any way I can achieve my result all of them in one chart? Can you please suggested the best way to achieve the result in Power BI visualizations?
Herewith attached the excel file for your additional reference.

nice to see you tagged me in LinkedIn referring this question link for my input. I am really glad for that.
I go thorough your requirement and my felling this below approach will be better (my feeling) for presentation for the data you wants present to the end user.
Now, if you are agree with me, one transformation in Power Query Editor and a single Measure will serve your purpose. Go to Power Query Editor and apply Unpivot Other Colum by selecting ITEM column as shown below-
The output will be as below-
Now get back to report and create this below Measure-
status_count = COUNT(DATA[ITEM])
Finally add a Matrix and configure as below-
Final output is shown in the first image.

I wanted suggestions from the community as to which chart should be used to depict the Parent-Child/Successor-Predecessor relationship in Power BI. I'm using Azure boards as a data source. Here is my sample data source.
I want to show each work item id in the center and its Predecessor on the top left and successor on the bottom right. With that, I want to arrange my items based on iteration.
Here is how I'm trying to visualize my data.
I don't need links to the Microsoft Custom Visuals Page. I know that it exists. I'm expecting somebody to point out to a visual in the market place that could help me with my scenario.
Not sure if there any exact option for data presentation as per your design/requirement or not. But to serve the purpose, you can try with "Multi-row card" and the presentation will be something like below-
You can apply some Styling in the visual, but it will not like your sample requirement I guess :(
Here 2 column is basically 2 different "Multi-row card" visual.
In first visual, applied filter with Iteration = 1
In second visual, applied filter with Iteration = 2
For better presentation purpose, I replaced NULL value with a "-" in column "Predecessos ID" & "Source ID Title"
I am new to Power BI and with the limited time given, I am stuck at how to come up with:
Below Table B-Row1 ("1/20" and "M"-Monday cell) - how to
specifically place the date measures in their specific cell and put
it in one column?
How can I merge the cells under the Total column?
How to add all the numbers from the Type1 and Type2 columns and place it in the merged cell in #2?
Any clues/direction/links on how to achieve the Target Table B below will be much appreciated.
PS. Below Table A. Current is just using Matrix Visualization in Power BI.
You can't exactly do what you are after. PowerBI allows you to rapidly put amazing visuals together however that comes at the price of lack of (easy) flexibility. You could build your own custom visual or look in App Source for a visual that does this, or build the Visual in some other tool (via custom code).
However, I'd recommend sticking with the PowerBI matrix, which will give you a cascading drill down and work out how best to align your data to it and other out of the box visuals. Once you start to delve in to convoluted work-arounds to give users data in exactly the format they request you start to burn a lot of time. Look for alternatives to tell the data's story and work with your end-user to buy in to it.
Just wanna share that I have resolved my problem not using one type of visualization, but through using 3 different visualizations in Power BI. I used:
1 Table visual for Date column
1 Table visual for Total column
1 Matrix visual for the Code+Type mapping and counts
I also used DAX function to get the Date format and another DAX function used for both Total and Code+Type counts(to filter data according to the specified date).
Thanks for the response, #Murray and #RADO.
I've trying out Power BI to solve some visualization problem in my organization and I've been working on desktop version of Power BI to try out its features.
I'm stuck at few issues and cannot find our way out of this.This is a sample view I've been trying to create:
Figure 1:
1
We've a dataset containing Product Opinion across gender, Age Group, Geography etc. and we want to pivot the opinion across different parameters as shown above.But when we use Matrix view of Power BI and add two parameters in columns, it creates a drill down view as shown below:
Figure 2: 2
On adding multiple fields in the column section we get an option to move down to next hierarchy as shown below:
Figure 3:3
Although we have the option to move down to hierarchy ,we are unable to show then side by side as we've shown in Figure 1.
Is there a way we can get the visualization as given in Figure 1 ?
Also, Currently the columns and rows are automatically sorted alphabetically. Is there a way we can adjust the column and row position as per our needs?
To sort the rows in a custom order, you will have to create an index table. The below link walks you through the steps involved:
http://www.excelnaccess.com/custom-sorting-in-power-bi/
Now, to achieve the visualization you are looking for, the only way I can think of is to create two matrix visualizations (One for gender and other for age group) and place them in such a way, that it gives the illusion of the same table. There might be a better way to do this, but I these workarounds work just fine. Hope this helps.
I am trying to get the first 4 digits from a string from a table in Power BI. The connection is a live connection / Direct which does not allow me to edit the query. Also, I am unable to create a new column. So I have to stick with creating a new Measure.
Now, I am using the following formula to get what I need.
LocationCd = mid(vw_DW_Contracts[ContractNumber],1,5)
but, this is not working a the vw_DW_Contracts table cannot be used in a measure. Is there a workaround to such problem?
I do not have access to the analysis service so cannot make any modifications in the source.
Please help.
Thanks
but, this is not working a the vw_DW_Contracts table cannot be used in a measure.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I'm guessing the message you see is telling you that measures expect an aggregation. The formula you posted would be great as a calculated column where it can be evaluated row by row. Measures are aggregations over multiple rows.
If you are trying to make a new field that is the location code that can be used in visuals on a categorical axis, this should be a column rather than a measure. You could write a measure to show a location cd using something like LASTNONBLANK (mid(vw_DW_Contracts[ContractNumber],1,5), 1) but I doubt that is what you want.
i'm trying the new Power BI (Desktop) to create a barchart that shows me the duration in days for the delivery of an order.
I have 2 files. 1 with the delivery data (date, barcode) and another file with the deliverystatusses (date, barcode).
I Created a relation in the powerBI relations tab on the left side to create a relation on barcode. 1 Delivery to many DeliveryStatusses.
Now I want to add a column/measure to calculate the number of days before a package is delivered. I searched a few blogs but with no succes.
The function DATEDIFF is only recognized in a measure, and measures seem to work on table date, not rowdata. So adding a column using the DATEDIFF function doesn't work.
Adding a column using a formula :
Duration = [DeliveryDate] - Delivery[OrderDate]
results in an error that the right side is a list (It seems the relationship isn't in place)?
What am I doing wrong?
You might try doing this in the Query window instead since I think each barcode has just one delivery date and one delivery status. You could merge the two queries into a single table. Then you wouldn't need to worry about the relationships... If on the other hand you can have multiple lines for each delivery in the delivery status table, then you need to get more fancy. If you're only interested in the last status (as opposed to the history of status) you could again use the Query windows to group the data. If you need the full flexibility, you'd probably need to create a Measure that expresses the logic you want.
The RELATED keyword is used to reference another table. Update your query as follows and it should work.
Like this:
Duration = [DeliveryDate] - RELATED(Delivery[OrderDate])
