Column and bar chart with smart labels and data-driven colors and logos.

The SDM Smart Column Chart is a professional-grade Power BI custom visual that replaces the built-in column and bar charts with a feature-rich alternative.

Key features:

  • Six chart types: Column, Bar, Stacked Column, Stacked Bar, 100% Stacked Column, 100% Stacked Bar
  • Data-driven series colors: assign hex color codes to each series via a DAX measure — no manual formatting needed
  • Series logos: display base64-encoded images in the legend and on bars for instant brand recognition
  • Smart data labels: intelligent label placement with overlap prevention, series-colored text and backgrounds
  • Error bars: four computation modes (percentage, field, percentile, standard deviation) with whisker, marker, band, and label display
  • Analytics overlays: constant lines, min/max/median/average reference lines with optional shade areas
  • Full formatting control: axis customization, legend positioning, tooltip configuration, and per-series overrides

The visual supports cross-filtering, tooltips, and is designed for enterprise dashboards where readability and branding matter.
