Workout Wednesday 2025 Week 26: Progress Bars in PowerBI

This challenge had us creating progress bars in PowerBI, which utilises overlapping clustered bar charts. This creates a sort of pseudo-stacked bar chart, using a "Total" field that is just equal to 100%, with our other fields representing progress towards completion.


See my Workout Wednesday below:

This Workout Wednesday taught me how to create rounded bars in bars using a trick with error bars, it also taught me about overlapping clustered bars, and how these can be utilised to create different visual effects.
