Bar Chart difference between Values in Dimension

[dominikkeller]

Hey,

i found an Image of a Tableau Bar Chart with a pretty helpful feature.

Has anyone an idea how two build the %-move of the values?

I tried Text on Axis, but this ends up in overlapping my dimension. 

This is my actual chart so far

Hello Dominikkeller,

Here is how you can plot symbols (positive / negative):

1. You need to use the Combo Chart.

2. You need to create 4 measures as follows:

Sales 2016, Sales 2017 , Positive %, Negative %

3. Sales 2016 and Sales 2016 -> Set them as bars from the Chart Properties -> Expressions -> Display Options segment

4. Positive % and Negative % -> Set them as Symbol >> But those use different symbol types (triangle up and triangle down) , so you need to write the expression like this:
Positive % = if([Sales 2017]>[Sales 2016],[Sales 2017]/[Sales 2016], null())

Negative % = if([Sales 2017]<=[Sales 2016],[Sales 2017]/[Sales 2016], null())

5. Uncheck the checkbox for Expressions as Legend for the % measures

6. Chart Properties -> Presentation tab -> Increase size to 8pt

7. Chart Properties -> Axes -> Expressions Postivie and Negative % should be set to Position Right (Top)

Result:

Hope that helps!

Yeah, perfect! This is pretty close perfect. 

Now i have to play with the split axes to make it readable.

Thank you!
