Is it possible to build a bar chart with different measures and color legend?

I'm trying to convert a Tableau dashboard into Power BI and ran into this visual. It appears as a clustered bar chart with 6 different measures, each measure is a row, and the legend being another category. 

 

Those "Flag" calculations were built like so:

Interview Flag

if ISNULL([Interview Date]) then 0 else 1 END

 

Columns are all the percentages by row; rows are the sumof the flags; legend is Location Type.

Is there anyway to replicate this in Power BI?

Hi @Anonymous 

The graph is possible to create. It might require an auxiliary table of metric names with all the combinations of the three categories and using a dynamic measure with selectedvalue ().
The guide to working with the method :

Or maybe this is possible with Unpivoting the data table .

To provide further assistance and demonstrate the process, please provide a sample dataset that can be worked with. It doesn't have to be real data. You can generate a sample dataset with the required logic. Refer to this link for guidance on how to do this:

Hi there! Thank you for responding to my post.

What I'm trying to achieve is to show all 6 measures in its own bar stacked next to each other, as well as the percentages, with legend being the Location Type. The YouTube video, however, shows a visual that interacts with a buttom. Is it possible to show all these without a button?

 

I'm pasting test data below:
