Creating a Line and Stacked column chart using matrix/pivot data source

Hi, I'm pretty new to Power BI. Wondering if somebody can guide me on how to take the below data and create a Line and Stacked column chart . The x-axis should show the Month-Yr and  Y axis should have Categories 1 & 2 stacked. Thanks.

Hi Ashish, Thanks a lot for looking into this. This is how my columns are coming in when I get the data from the excel file into Power BI, not sure how I can link a single date column in Calendar to the multiple date columns. Please advise. Thanks

That worked really well. How can I have Category-1 & Category-2 as stacked values and Category-3 & Category-4 as Lines charts. Thanks!
