Sum and show top n columns according to row selection

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a pretty simple thing, but I'm stuck. I have a simple spreadsheet that contains rows with calendar week and a lot of columns where individual errors and their proportion are marked.
I would need to create a bar chart where specific weeks(rows) are selected and the top N errors are displayed based on the sum of the percentages in those weeks.

Data which I have:

Kind of chart which I want to get: (errorZ,errorE... represents name of the columns)

Could you please help me?

Thanks a million

Hi,

 

thank you very much for the answer, my thought was more how to transform the data I have in the table into the chart based on the top N columns (errors) - based on sum and selected rows (calendar weeks)
