Slicing cumulative data by a third field

I am trying to create a stacked bar chart that represents cumulative data and shows a third category for the growth.  I used the DAX formula suggested by others to successfully create cumulative data (thank you!!), but I'm not able to show separate colors for contributions to growth.  

 

For example, say I have 5 sales people, and I want to show cumulative sales by month over one year.  In February I want one color (say green) to be January's sales, and then to show who contributed to February's sales I want to show Jen's sales in black, Bob's in blue, Kim's in yellow, etc.  

 

So far I've been able to create cumulative data, or the individualized color data, but I haven't been able to combine these two approaches.  Can anyone help?

In this scenario, you can put the sales person field in Lengend. However, you can only keep on field in Value, which means it's not supported to make bar chart both stacked and clustered. Please vote this idea.

 

Regards,

Thanks Simon ~ I have voted for it.  It's exactly the solution I need!
