    Create 100% stacked bar chart based on date and multiple variables in single column

    Hello! I am running into difficulties creating a 100% stacked bar chart with my dataset. I know how to create the chart if I manipulate the data using a pivot table, but ideally I would be able to create the same stacked bar chart using my original data export.

    Dataset (3 columns)

    Date Variable Value
    October X 100
    October Y 200
    October Z 150
    November X 150
    November Y 205

    I want the x-axis to be the month and the bars to show the % of month total for that variable. Is it possible to get this stacked bar chart without manipulating the data into a pivotable with variables in the column and dates in the top row?

    Let me know if need any clarification. I have attached a sample spreadsheet showing how my data exists, and the end chart I would like to get from it.

    Why don't you want to use the pivot chart, which gives you exactly what you want? You can easily move the pivot table to a hidden worksheet...
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
