Multiple Value Columns in a Stacked Column chart

Could someone advise how I can recreate this excel chart in PBI? I can't seem to add more than 1 value column in PBI. It is relatively simple in excel. Thanks.

I need to see the yearly costs by category in each column.

@Anonymous you need to unpivot the data, 

 

transform data -> select id and category column -> right click -> unpivot other data

 

it will add two columns, attribute and value, rename as you see fit, close, and apply.

 

now you can use attributes on rows, categories on columns, and value on values and that will do it.

@Anonymous just to be more clear, use stacked  column chart

 

x-axis -> attribute column

y-axis -> value column

legend -> category column
