Stacked Bar Chart

[Danbert]

Hi

In the below visual, my source data is as it appears in the upper table, but I need to find a way to manipulate the data so it appears like it does in the lower table.

I need to create a stacked bar chart in power bi as in the example below, and I can do that by using the upper table as a source, but I can not find a way to sort it so that the most billable time is sorted first, then the non-billable, then the absence, but I can only get it to sort by total time.  With the lower table as a source this is not a problem.  

Can anyone enlighten me as to how I can either transform the upper table to the lower one, or how I can get my desired result from the structure in the upper table?

Hi @Danbert ,
Would you copy and paste your first table right into the message so that we can copy and paste it into Power Query? Cannot do that  with pictures.
Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Hi @Danbert ,

You are very welcome, glad to help!

@Nathaniel_C, thanks so much for coming back to me so quickly on this.  I won't be able to test this until tomorrow but looks exactly like what I'm after.  I'll report back tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Hi @Danbert ,

Dummied up a table for you, you will end up with a table like this by selecting the Type Column and Selecting Pivot on the Transform tab. Use Time as the values.

 The picture below shows both the selection for Pivot Column and the resulting table.
