I have 3 values which I don't need to compare the size of them to each other, just their trending nature. However, when I try to put them into a line chart/combo chart one value is always drowned out.
THe values are: Summation of Spending, Percentage of Turns, and Time To Sell (in days). So one month can have this:
Spend: 200,000
Turns: 9%
TTS: 107
This data is by month as well.
The one thing I am trying from the below article is stacking charts on each other. Which is ugly and causes me to lose some visibility on the chart in the back.
This article gets me close but not quite.

I'm having problems with a line chart calculating the percentage of subtotals. What I have at the moment is as follows:
The PowerBI Data is structured similarly with a few extra columns.
I want to do a line graph where for each quarter, I have the percentage of each result for that quarter. For example, In Q4, between Business Unit A and B, I have 45 Passes, 2 Partial Passes, and 19 Fails. so of a total of 66, Q1 should show 68% pass, 3% partial pass, and 29% Fail. When I do the chart in Excel, I get the following (which is what I want to replicate in PowerBI):
In order to build this in PowerBI, I'm using a measure with the following formula:
Percentage = DIVIDE(SUM('TABLE NAME'[Number]),CALCULATE(SUM('TABLE
NAME'[NUMBER]),ALLEXCEPT('TABLE NAME'[DATE].[QUARTER])
When I use that formula, if I filter on an individual quarter, the chart values are correct, but when more than 1 quarter is displayed, the percentages are incorrect:
1 Quarter displayed:
Full Chart Displayed
The percentages between the chart in Excel and PowerBI are off when multiple quarters are displayed in PowerBI. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the chart to be correct.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks!
How can I do custom number formatting in a Power Bi visual?
I don't want to show all value as million. I want to put thousand for 1-day value, and million for 1-week value and year for 1-year value.
Power BI charts follow the principles of good data visualisation. That includes a scale that is relevant to the data with labels that relate to the scale.
In the visualisation, the differences for the values less than 1M are not discernible. The label with the 0M supports that approach, although it doesn't look great. But that happens when you have a chart with very large AND very small values. Power BI only supports one display unit and you selected Millions.
You may want to consider using a different visual for the data. Not all visuals to be shown as charts. If you want to show the exact numbers, then a simple table might be a better approach. In a sorted list of numbers, the digits in a number act very much like a horizontal bar.
Or split the chart in two and show one chart for values above 1M and another for values below 1M.
Or use Thousands as display units instead of Millions.
When I have more than one year of monthly data in my Clustered Column chart my data bars get squashed and separated with the x axis type set to Continuous. Setting the x axis type to Categorical fixes the problem but I lose the Trend Line. The Trend Line is a must-have requirement from the end user so I can't leave it out.Desired Result but I need a Trend Line
This is what happens with the x axis set to Continuous:
When I reduce the amount of data to 12 months everything is ok - bars look good and I have a trend line - surely I should be able to display more that one year's worth of data?
This is what I want but I want to display more than one year's worth of monthly data
your suggestion seemed to work for the most part but my Month Year labels aren't lining up with the correct columns. For instance Jul 2019 should be directly under the right-most columns. Also, how can I get Month Year labels under every column not just every few.
Note that the Month Year labels seem to be shifted one column to the left
I developed the few Line charts for BMP280 sensor data in powerbi. This is one of the line chart for displaying the temperature value by time and device id.
But I want same line chart with different Color like this below image, whenever temperature value suddenly changes.
Can you please tell me is it possible to develop the Line chart with multiple colors?
If you're willing to consider a vertical bar chart instead of a line chart, you would be able to create a calculation for each row that determines whether the change is significant, potentially by comparing an aggregate of recent measurements to specific thresholds.
Once you do that, you would use this column's value as a legend for your visualization. So if a row has a value of "Significant Positive Change" (or something like that), the bar or bars showing that change can be red.
Your other alternative is to use an R-based visual, of which there are surely examples of this type of visualization. I'll update this answer if I find one that looks promising.
Instead of tending 1 data series, you can split it into 2 data series e.g. one with normal temperatures and one with high temperatures. Then you can just plot these in different colours. Just make sure that the ranges are same i.e. cannot be 'Auto'.
I have a simple chart plotting data over time. The data points are taken at random time intervals, and I would like the chart X axis (time) to actually reflect the interval between these dates. Currently the x axis always uses the same spacing between two dates, regardless of the span of time covering the delta.
Thanks!

should do what you want. It has support for graphing using dates.
