Yes you should be able to do this...

Create a Clustered Column Chart

Drag Machine Name to the Axis

Drag Month to The Axis and place below Machine Name

Drag Machine Total to Value

Click Expand At The Lowest Level of Data (All down one level) in the top right corner in the visual header

Click the ellipsis... (top right corner) - Sort By - Machine Name Month

Click the ellipsis... again - Sort Ascending

Go to the Format (Paint Brush) options for the visual - X-axis - Concatenate Labels - Turn Off

That should do it! Smiley Happy
