@mina97 , I now get what you wanted in your code. 

So, create a calculated column in your table:

name unique =
VAR same_names =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        SUMMARIZE ( Specialists, Specialists[ID], Specialists[First_Name] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( Specialists, Specialists[First_Name] )
    )
VAR ranking = RANKX ( same_names, Specialists[ID],, ASC, DENSE )
VAR blanks = REPT ( UNICHAR ( 8204 ), ranking - 1 )
VAR res = Specialists[First_Name] & blanks
RETURN
    res

And use this column for the x-axis of your visual:

@mina97 , you already have a unique field - ID. Can you use it in the visual?

hi @SamInogic  i appreciate your help 

but jack who's id is 2160003021 had 2 payemnts 250$ and 600$ as 2 seperated rows but identical columns inputs except for payment column 

and i need the graph to show that this jack got 850$ as a total payment hence, the index method is not useful in this case. 

please help me and Thank you for your response

Hi @mina97 ,

Instead of custom column with DAX expression, you can try creating Index column within Power Query in order generate the unique numbers,

Then you can design chart with below specifications,
