Matrix Graph equivalent

I have a table on input data formatted as per below (left of image).

I'm trying to plot the trend in value for each catergory overtime as a percentage of each days total (graph, right of image).

 

In excel i would first create a pivot table (middle image), with date's as rows, and the catergory pivoted to create 4 columns, and then values summed and displayed as % of row total. That would then automatically produce the desired graph as a pivot chart.

 

I can create a desired table in powerbi via the matrix table - but i'm then unable to then create the corresponding graph. Can anyone advise how i can create a graph in that format in powerbi?

Hi @SANGST 

 

Create the follwing measure:

% of total by date = SUM('Table'[Value]) / CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), ALLSELECTED('Table'[Category]))

 

Now create the line chart with the following setup:

  •  Axis: Date (Categorical)
  • Legend: Category
  • Values [%of total by date]

Check PBIX file attach.
