Clustered bar chart from 2 columns that share values

Hello all,

 

This is probably rather simple, but I couldn't find the correct answer after much research.

I have two dates, one is the date an order is made, and another is the date the order is started. I have made a column for each that transforms these dates into day of week names (ie Monday, Tuesday...)

 

In excel, I could load these columns up into a cluster bar chart that looks like this:

When I try to do the same in Power BI, the columns always have the same number.

I have resorted to just making two separate charts for now, but it would be great to combine these into one.

Thank you!
