PBIGenie Horizontal Bar Chart
by PBI Genie
No DAX. Axis Flip, bar-on-bar, lollipops, hammerheads, rounded caps & color control in 1 visual
Say goodbye to static charts and DAX headaches with the PBIGenie HBC Visual Platform.
PBIGenie Horizontal Bar Chart (HBC) Visual Platform delivers high-impact bar visuals with deep formatting control — without writing custom DAX.
Use a simple dataset (Value + optional Overlap measure) and design everything directly from the Format pane.
Now with Axis Flip, PBIGenie lets report creators switch between horizontal bar chart (HBC) and vertical bar chart (VBC) layouts from the same visual — ideal for flexible reporting, executive dashboards, and presentation-ready comparison charts.
PBIGenie HBC is part of the growing PBIGenie Visual Platform — a suite of creator-focused visuals designed for modern Power BI reporting.
