Comparing time periods without using DAX or forming new columns

Hi All !

I need to comper monthly sales by two years (2020-2021). My basic data consits of date column by date (years, month and days) and a column with sales for each date. I want to create a visual showing a line of sales per month for 2020 and a line of sales per month for 2021 in a same visual. 

Is this possible? if not, please show me the way to do so.

Thanks

@igal , Use Month on-axis and Year on legend. You have two columns or can use date hierarchy
