Creating a line graph
Good afternoon,
Thanks for your help on my last question. I now have another that has probably already been asked and answered but I can't seem to find it. I have a single row of data I am trying to put in a line chart where the X-axis is in months and the y axis is in values. How do I build my visual (line graph)? When I try the points are like a scatterplot in one row or none at all.
in pq you can create a new column
= if [2025] = "January" then 1
else if [2025] = "February" then 2
else if [2025] = "March" then 3
else if [2025] = "April" then 4
else if [2025] = "May" then 5
else if [2025] = "June" then 6
else if [2025] = "July" then 7
else if [2025] = "August" then 8
else if [2025] = "September" then 9
else if [2025] = "October" then 10
else if [2025] = "November" then 11
else if [2025] = "December" then 12
else nullthen make sure the new column's data type is whole number and sort 2025 by the new column
at last sort by the 2025 column

I think you need to go to Power query
1. use header as first row
2. transpose
then you drag column 1 to x-aixs and column 2 to y x-axis to build the line chart.

Wait! I think I'm close. I just need to figure out how to get the months in the correct order. They are listed in order on the uploaded data.
