I have a dataset that summarizes student absences grouped by School Site, Grade, Gender, Race and it is broken down into groups with total # of students that had: Absence <5%, Absence 5-10%, Absence 10-20%, and Absence >20%. Here is an example of what the data looks like:

Site Grade Gender EthnicityRace Total People Absence <5% Absence 5-10% Absence 10-20% Absence >20%
Site A 1 F Race3 1 0 0 0 1
Site A 1 F Race5 1 0 1 0 0
Site A 2 F Race3 1 1 0 0 0
Site A 3 F Race3 2 0 1 0 1
Site A 3 M Race5 1 0 1 0 0
Site A 4 F Race3 2 1 0 0 1
Site A 4 M Race3 1 0 0 0 1
Site A 5 F Race3 3 1 0 0 2
Site A 5 M Race3 2 0 2 0 0
Site A 5 X Race3 1 1 0 0 0
Site B 1 M Race2 1 0 0 0 1
Site B 1 M Race3 7 0 1 1 5
Site B 2 M Race2 1 0 0 0 1
Site B 2 M Race3 1 0 0 1 0
Site B 2 M Race4 1 0 0 0 1
Site B 3 F Race3 1 0 0 1 0
Site B 3 M Race4 2 0 0 0 2
Site B 4 F Race3 1 0 0 0 1
Site B 4 M Race5 1 0 1 0 0
Site B 5 M Race1 1 1 0 0 0

I am trying to use Power BI to graph the breakdown of absences for each of the buckets (<5%, 5-10%, 10-20%, >20%) for each site and some of the other characteristics (like Grade, Gender, or Race).

I made the following chart using Site as the X-axis, Sum of Absence <5% as the Y-axis, and Race as the legend: enter image description here

However I can't seem to be able to add any of the other Absence columns to the Y-axis and I cannot add it to the Secondary y-axis.

What would be the best way to use Power BI to display each of the absence buckets for each Site/Race breakdown?

I think this would be the best way to show the data. If you want to show both categories- Site and Race breakdown

enter image description here

and if you want to show either of one you can use and replace site with Race
