Creating 3 Column Stacked Graphs with 5 columns of data - no Date required

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: 

LisaBureau_0-1648048550011.png

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?

If your data is shaped like this:

Then you can set up your bar chart like this:
