Now you can enable total labels for stacked bar charts, stacked column charts, stacked area charts, and line and stacked column charts.
This feature was introduced in Power BI in September 2020.
Prerequisite: Update Power BI to the latest version from the official Microsoft Power BI website.
Sample Dataset format as below:
Year | Sales | Profit |
2014 | 15000 | -6000 |
2015 | 10000 | -5000 |
2016 | 11000 | 12000 |
2017 | 9000 | -4000 |
2018 | 13000 | 13500 |
2019 | 11000 | 12000 |
2020 | 9000 | -4000 |
Let’s start with an example:-
Step-1: Display sales and profit year-wise in a stacked column chart visual.
