Please help me recreate this bar chart

I tried all Friday to make what should be a simple bar chart, but I am just not succeeding, please help me.

 

I want to recreate the following bar chart which I found on a YouTube video of a Power BI report.

 

Balance by Overdue Group

 

I am just using fake data at the moment to create a mockup of what reports we can create.

 

The best I can get from Power BI is the following using a Clustered Bar Chart, I had to create a blank measure = 0 to get a space which I put between each bar, but only appears between the 1st and 2nd for some reason. Plus I can't get the bars to take up the whole vertical space, they just sit in the middle with a massive gap at the top and bottom. Also I can't get the text to display on the left. What am I doing wrong?

 

My attempt

    You need to put all groupings into one field.

    You have them on separate fields.

     

    Either create a new column with the groupings using DAX formulas or do it using Power Query

    Make sure that axis and value section under Visualizations Pane have a field.

    Axis will have the grouping

      Thanks,

       

      I did try that, but it just goes weird like below.

       

       

      Those values are Sums and the data I created randomly:
