Create a line chart

Sorry if this is too elementary for the forum, but I am having difficulty creating what I thought would be an easy line chart. I have created it in Excel previously, but wanted to convert to Power BI. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Example data is below.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can use "UnPivot" firstly. This is my PBIX file.

If your data is in that format, you will want to unpivot your month columns or something to get it more into a format like:

 

Type,Month,Value

Service,Jan,xxxx

Equipment,Jan,yyyy
