Calculate percentage based on column values and display in Stacked

HI,

 I am new to PowerBI and have been exploring my usecase but couldnt find a solution. Can somehelp on how i can achieve this?

 

I need to create a Stacked column chart with date in X-axis and in Y-axis i want to add up Col to Col 5 to how 100%

Here Col1 - 20% , Col 2 - 25%, Col 3 - 30%, col 4 - 10%, Col 5 - 15%. Basically, i am determining how much each column % is instead of distributing same % for all the columns.  

 

I tried to select Col 1 - Col 5 & Unpivot these selected columns and tried to use Marix visualization but i can only convert columns to rows (Attribute and Value) and get the counts. If i change to % of GT, then i am getting equal % for all the columns.

Also, how can i show % of Yes, No values in Col1, Col2 instead of showing percentage of columns.

@powerbiusertest , my advice would be to unpivot the data then % of total and subtotal can help

Thanks @amitchandak ! 

I cannot figure out how can i achieve Col1 - 20% , Col 2 - 25%, Col 3 - 30%, col 4 - 10%, Col 5 - 15%. 

 

I am trying if i can add an IF or SWITCH in my measure to verify the attribute and then set the desired % but i cannot use 'Table'[Attribute]="Col1" in the IF or SWITCH, seeing an error cannot find name for Attribute

 

Below measure gives same 20% across all the attributes Col1 to Col7 but i want to set different percentages and i cannot use Attribute in condition.

% of QA = DIVIDE('Table'[count],CALCULATE('Table'[count],All('Table'[Value])) ) *20 /100
Can you help on how my measure should be written?
