Lollipop Bar Chart for Power BI – November 2024 Update

Lollipop Bar Chart for Power BI – November 2024 Update

We’re thrilled to continue receiving your valuable feedback, and we appreciate your contributions in helping us improve our visuals.

In our latest Lollipop Bar Chart release for Power BI, we’ve added a much-requested feature: secondary markers. This allows you to display not only the primary value but also add context by including a secondary value marker.

This new feature integrates seamlessly with all other Lollipop Bar Chart functionalities, such as transforming the Lollipop Bar Chart into a dot plot by removing the connecting bars, as shown in the second image. This also removes the requirement to start your numeric scale at 0, allowing you to have a closer look at the values and their differences.

While standard bar charts are great for comparing a single measure across categories, they can become cluttered with larger datasets (>10 categories). The colored bars may fill too much of the chart space. To address this, the Lollipop Bar Chart offers a cleaner, more efficient alternative, minimizing clutter without sacrificing clarity.

Try the Lollipop Bar Chart for FREE now on your own data by downloading it from the AppSource.
