What it does.
Dual Axis Bar & Column Chart lets you plot two measures with different scales side by side on independent axes. Switch between horizontal bar and vertical column orientations with a single toggle. Ideal for comparing values like Revenue vs Units Sold, Sales vs Quantity, or Budget vs Actual across categories.
The visual supports small multiples for trellis layouts, conditional color formatting with rules and field values, bar patterns for accessibility, overlapping and lipstick bar layouts via bar offset, and dual reference lines. Full Power BI interactivity includes cross-filtering, drill-down, drill-through, report page tooltips, and context menus working natively.
All formatting controls use Power BI’s native formatting pane with nested groups, Font Control composites for font family, size, bold, italic, and underline, display units, decimal places, and color pickers. Each axis, legend, bar series, data label, and reference line can be configured independently.
