Stacked column chart with month on month sales growth

I have a requirement of plotting sales growth month on month for 2 years categorised by 3 regions (legend) . I am able to plot the chart , however the months columns are displayed year wise like Jan to dec for 2023 and again Jan to April for 2024( bars) . 

I want Jan 2023 and Jan 2024 sales side by side . Similarly for other months. 

How to rearrange in this manner in x axis.

Hi @Snehapbidev ,

First of all, many thanks to @amitchandak  for your very quick and effective replies.

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Drag the month into the X-axis, drag the sales into the Y-axis and drag the Region into the legend.

@Snehapbidev for that in your visual first drag month and then year and use concatenate label off and sort on axis

 

You need to have two columns on axis , month (with a sort column month no) and year

 

It is default option these days, in case it does work
