Hello Helical Insight Team,
Can we display two different measures in the same stacked bar chart in Helical Insight? Right now either it does not create, or it creates multiple different set of bar charts.
I am using open source BI helical insight enterprise edition 5.1
Thanks,
Netta.
Hello Netta,
Yes, it is possible to display multiple measures in a stacked bar chart in Helical Insight.
This feature is available starting from Helical Insight 5.2.1. From this version onwards, you can combine multiple measure columns using the Measure Name–Measure Value approach.
Because of this enhancement:
• Multiple measure columns can be converted into a single structure
• A new Measure Name field is automatically created to distinguish measures
• A Measure Value field stores the corresponding values
• You can place the Measure Name in the color section (Marks) to stack the measures
• This enables multiple measures to be visualized within the same stacked bar chart
As per the official implementation, when you drag multiple measures into the Measures section, the system automatically generates Measure_Name and Measure_Value, which can then be used to build charts. (helicalinsight.com)
This feature enhances flexibility in reporting and allows better comparison of multiple metrics in a single visualization.

Thank You,
