Chart with multiple columns showing grayed out

Hello new to power BI. I am trying to build a Chart the will show how many items (apples) per each Size belongs to a certain Group(lot and/or Variety) did it the easy way just dragging the Size columns to a Chart. But when filtering i still see the previous chart Greyed out on the background and the current totals in a small section.

 

this is the  Original file where the sizes are getting pulled

this is without any filters

 

once filters are applied i get the following

would like for the "size" to be more seperated and the background to be clean

 

 

this is the idea made in excel

Hi,

The structure of the dataset is not amenable to analysis/visualisation.  In the Query Editor, you must select the first column, right click > Unpivot Other columns.  Now create your visuals.
