Stacked Bar Chart to show Trend line

I have a bar chart that shows % of tasks delivered on time (very bottom visual). I need to add a trend line to give a better visualization of the trend. I have tried to use the line and stacked bar chart visual but I cannot get it to show the data in %. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. thank you.

Delivered on time formula is below

Delivered On Time = IF('Project Install Schedule'[MIN Scheduled End] < 'Project Install Schedule'[MAX Entered Time], "No", "Yes")

Hi:

I had a little luck changing the chart type to Line & Clustered Column and using DATE in Axis. Then you get a trend line. There are perhaps more ways but this got closer to what you'd like.

Hello: I did my best with the data available. I made two sets for percent and number of projects compeleted  and you can swop out. I did not find trend on stacked column but created average monthly measure to substitute. I hope this helps!

@Whitewater100 the line and cluster does not show the data values as a %. I can change it to show data as a percentage of the whole, but then its not correct for each month. I accidentally marked your response as the solution. 

Hi Rachael:

Would you happen to have any data you can share? Or perhaps tell me what formula you want to show % of total? I think if you get a measure for this it will be fine. Anyways whatever you can share, plus what an expected result would be will help me understand - I will look at it and reply.

Thanks

I will include some of the data below. I basically want it to look just like what I have but a line to emphasize a trend line. Image below to give an idea. So I imagine I will need to use the line and stacked visual but I cannot get it to show in % for that month. My formula is in the original post. It is a calculated column. for the visual below Green = "yes" and red = "no". I appreciate you taking the time to help me. This seems like an easy fix so its driving me crazy.

Maybe you will like moving average. Here is a 3-mnoth and it smooths the average out and is a trend lagging indicator. the link from before should have it.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much Bill!
