How would I build a GDP value by Year table with this excel data set?

This is what my Excel data table + Power BI fields (right) looks like:

I need it to look like this: 

 

Any ideas on how I would format this? I know I have to use a stacked bar chart, but it ends up looking like this:

    You need to unpivot the year columns and then drag the generated attribute columns to the X-axis field.

    The best way would have been transposed data.

    You can also try Clustered Bar Chart.

    Also set display unit property to Thousand. Seem like it is set to Million

      I can't transpose the Data. The Excel spreadsheet automatically updates and updates data from a database. I tried transposing on Power BI, and half the data disappears when I do so...

      Any other ideas or ways I could format it within DAX?
