Hi A_ksh ,
The hierarchy of the x-axis in the chart you have given is Quarter-Month-Day, and you can set up the same hierarchy as shown below.
Due to the design of PBI Desktop this is the closest you can get to an excel chart.

Sample data with different years would help more but with this data :
Date on the x-axis, individual measures on the y-axis. If you want a quick chart just select the c10, c14 etc and add them to the y-axis
--
Or you can unpivot the C-columns and write one measure
Sorry but i tried and it is not helping, excel provide 2 legend option where i can select different different years and it will show Value of lets say C10 for 2 different year with different line, doing that in power bi just expands the x-axis for 2 years and give continoues graph.
I want to recreate same what is there in excel and showed in my question.Hi A_ksh ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) This is my test data.
(2) We can create a calculated column.
Year = YEAR('Table'[Date])(3) Then the result is as follows.

Thank you so muc for the reply
But as you can see in excel line chart below we can have fixed x axis from january to december and it gives you option to choose year and different values of C10, C14 etc. so i select lets say 2021 and 2022 it gives me 2 lines of same C14 over the span of january to december, so that its easy to compare on month basis.
But in power BI it just extends the x-axis for 2 different year and even if i create table for month or select x axis for month it provides sum value for that month not the individual values of everyday. But in excel even though x axis is from Jan to Dec it still provides you daily data and makes graph more smooth.
here is the comparison of 2 same data in excel and in power bi.This is graph in Excel.
This is graph in Power Bi.
Hi A_ksh ,
(1)We can create measures.
_c10 = SUM('Table'[C10])_c14 = SUM('Table'[C14])_c16 = SUM('Table'[C16])...
(2)Creating Field Parameter.
(3)Then the result is as follows.
