Bar Chart Visual will not accept a column

I am trying to create a stacked bar graph in Power BI. The X-Axis is a date column and the visual accepts this.

 

The Y-Axis is a monetary value (called Amt) - the column is a Whole Number type. It is not summarised. The visual will just not accept the Amt column.

 

I have tried changing data types (decimal, currency) with no luck. I have checked if there are any null or blanks in the column and there aren't any. What am I doing wrong?

 

Any help highly appreciated.

Thank you so much for such a swift response - I forgot to mention that I had tried that as well but no luck

Can you share a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
