Hi @Anshenterprices ,

 

I suggest you to create a Dimtable with column headers as "Relience","Tata","Godrej","TCS","Colgate" you need.

Axis = 
{"Colgate","TCS","Godrej","Tata","Relience"}

Then create a measure to calcualte the sum of value.

Measure = 
SWITCH(
MAX('Axis'[Axis]),
"Colgate",CALCULATE(SUM('Table A'[Colgate])),
"TCS",CALCULATE(SUM('Table A'[TCS])),
"Godrej",CALCULATE(SUM('Table A'[Godrej])),
"Tata",CALCULATE(SUM('Table A'[Tata])),
"Relience",CALCULATE(SUM('Table A'[Relience]))
)

Create a bar chart by Axis[Axis] in Axis and [Measure] in Value, then you can sort your visual by measure.
