Duplicating Existing Excel Column Chart

We will be moving some of our reports to PowerBi from Excel and I am having problems duplicating the report shown below. I provided what the data source looks likes, the expected result, as well as how it was built in excel. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @PPalkowski , 

If you don't unpivot table, you couldn't get the result like you Excel. You might will  get result like below

Hi @PPalkowski , 

You could unpivot your dataset(choose column except Month column, then click unpivot column in powerbi-> Edit Queries), then use it in PowerBI like below, you could refer to my sample(click Edit Queries->Advanced Editor to see the M code). To sort legend, you could use Month number instead of month name.

Would it make a difference that the data isn't pivoted, that is the actual table.
