How to: Line and clustered column chart - From Excel to BI

Hi datanauts,

 

I'm trying to replicate the excel graph posted underneath in Power BI. It shows the actuals we have right now, the budget and the rolling forecast.

The data I have to reproduce this graph is as followed: BAR.PNG 

 

First thing I've tried was to build a matrix, showing the right numbers. However, it looks really messy:

However, when I try to replicate the upmost picture in Power BI in a line and clustered column chart, I get stuck real quick:

Putting the months (which I'm taking out of a different query than the data showed in the second picture) works out fine, just as well as putting in the actuals (different query as well). However, all the right data is already provided, but it feels like I just need to 'rearrange' it the right way, in order to be able to build the chart I'm looking for.

 

Any help?

Thanks in advance!
