Help with Stacked chart - multiple values + detail

Hello,

 

I am recreating a Tableau Report into Power BI.

I have come across this visualization and data that I cannot mirror into Power BI:

 

Data is in this format - values are in Columns:

In Tableau it looks like this:

In Power BI I struggle to add the Gender detail just as it is in Tableau

 

 

Is it possible to recreate this visual in Power BI using the existing data structure?

 

I know I can have a duplicate table with unpivoted values, but that would create a mess in the data model. That is why I would like to find a solution with the data I have at the moment.

 

Warm regards,

Jakub

I agree you should unpivot your data.  You can add multiple columns (with auto aggregation of sum) to the values area of a bar chart but then you can't also add your gender column for the legend (as you've probably found out).  You might have to make this chart with the Charticulator visual.
