The Power BI clustered bar chart is used to display horizontal bars from multiple data regions (measures) in a single metric. Let me show you how to create a clustered bar chart in Power BI with an example.

For this Power BI clustered bar chart demo, we used the SQL data source that we created in our previous article. So, check out the article Connect Power BI to SQL Server to understand the data source in Power BI.

• Axis: Specify the main column that represents the horizontal axis.
• Legend: Specify the second column that represents the horizontal bars.
• Values: Any numerical value such as sales amount, sales, orders, etc.

Let me drag the Sales Amount section from the fields to the Values field
