Visual only allowing the plotting of summarized column

Hi 🙂

 

I would like to plot 'budget' next to 'budget used to date' by projects in a clustered column chart. 'budget' is a column in my  data and budget used to date is a measure. When I add the 'budget used to date' in y-axis field and projects in x-axis fields, it works nicely.

When I then add the 'budget' variable, it only allows me to add a summarized version of the column. So for example I can only plot the sum/count/.. of the budget column next to each of my 'budget used to date' columns in the chart.

There is no option for me to say do not summarize:

I would like the budget for each project next to budget used. Please help! Thank you in advance.

budget used to date is a measure.

Why would that be a measure?  Sounds like this is immutable and should be a column.
