Help please: I want to create this graph which I created in Smartsheet from the same data source as I am using in Power BI:
I have 72 rows with multiple columns - here are only those that are used in the above graph:
1. Project Areas (6) = Legend
2. Project Names (72)
3. Budget YTD (72) = one column on axis
4. Actual YTD (72) = one column on axis
5. Forecast YTD (72) = one column on axis
The display above is stacked (a sum of) for the relevant Column (3,4,5) per Project in the Project Area.
I can get it right for 1 stacked column, but can't seem to have the 3 stacked columns. What am I doing wrong or what should I be doing to get it right please?
