The Updated Stacked Bar Chart in Power BI

Tom Martens reviews an updated visual:

Personally, the stacked bar chart holds a special place in my heart when it comes to data visualization. It’s the tool I find myself using most frequently, which is why I decided to share a template using Deneb that I’ve been utilizing for a considerable amount of time: https://www.minceddata.info/2023/11/12/the-better-rectangular-pie-chart/

With the December 2023 release of Power BI Desktop, I can almost create the Deneb visual, which is fantastic as it eliminates the need for an additional custom visual. It’s important to note that while I’m a huge fan of Deneb, I also serve as the Power BI/Fabric sherpa in a large organization, and for this, I always try to reduce overall system complexity.
