Actual vs Budget using Clustered Column Chart

Brass Contributor

Hi.  I have a new challenge -- trying to find the best way to showcase Act vs Budget.  I saw a chart online which looks pretty good.  Problem is, I cannot somehow copy the steps although it seems pretty simple enough.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (I've done it a few times but never end up where I should be).  File attached.  Any thoughts on which step I'm doing wrong, would be very helpful.  Thank you in advance.

Change type on Stacked Columns

Budget and Positive Var on one axis, Actual and negative on another

After that play with series overlaps and gaps

Don't forget to place data in proper order

That's only to show the way, I didn't finalize the chart
