    First step is to unpivot the data to bring it into a usable form

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bY7LCgIxDEV/Zeh6CH0/vmWYRZQiytiWUvD3bUNRB1wkZ5Gc5G4bKzU/4rUtWMoR2cokCEPQoUMBVx0CpOxYqPb1a+WK6TY0Tst6qBaC63Bg1F/ngglTwjnj4Ay5krr/wVl7YYv1GY+cpunAi44AliJykIHuEc5uGynrPcXPU6spqfEEO95pmOL+Bg==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ProjectName = _t, #"GRaC 2023" = _t, #"GRaC 2024" = _t, #"GRaC 2025" = _t, #"GRaC 2026" = _t, #"GRaC 2027" = _t, #"GRaC 2028" = _t]),
        #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"ProjectName"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{{"Value", Currency.Type}})
    in
        #"Changed Type"

     

    Then the visual writes itself.
