Dates on vertical axis?

I have a graph in Excel where you can see the shifting of deadline-dates over time. How do I recreate it in PBI? 

 

Date ReportDate MilestoneFase
24-12-202125-2-2022VO
24-12-20216-5-2022DO
24-12-202115-7-2022TO
15-3-202225-2-2022VO
15-3-20226-5-2022DO
15-3-202215-7-2022TO
18-3-202225-2-2022VO
18-3-202213-5-2022DO
18-3-202222-7-2022TO
15-4-202225-2-2022VO
15-4-202224-5-2022DO
15-4-202216-8-2022TO
16-5-202225-2-2022VO
16-5-202220-6-2022DO
16-5-202229-8-2022TO
15-7-202225-2-2022VO
15-7-202222-7-2022DO
15-7-202230-9-2022TO
14-9-202225-2-2022VO
14-9-202222-7-2022DO
14-9-202211-11-2022TO
25-10-202225-2-2022VO
25-10-202222-7-2022DO
25-10-202210-3-2023TO
11-11-202225-2-2022VO
11-11-202222-7-2022DO
11-11-202213-4-2023TO
5-12-202225-2-2022VO
5-12-202222-7-2022DO
5-12-202213-4-2023TO
11-1-202325-2-2022VO
11-1-202322-7-2022DO
11-1-202328-4-2023TO
30-1-202325-2-2022VO
30-1-202322-7-2022DO
30-1-202328-4-2023TO

 

Update: Added info: 

1. The y-axis shows the deadlines in time

2. The x-axis shows the report-dates

3. The lines are the different milestones, shown in the third column.

 

So for example, Milestone "VO" is stable, it was predicted to be "25-02-2022" in the first report on 24-12-2021, and hasn't moved since. However Milestone "TO" was planned at "25-07-2022" in the first report, but has shifted backwards significantly and was planned at "28-04-2023" in the report of 30-01-2023

      Yes that worked! Too bad it isn't native PBI, while Excel doesn't even blink to perform this trick.

    I think you need to explain a couple of things about the graph.
    1. What does the y-axis show?

    2. What does the x-axis show?

    3. What does the three diffrent lines show?

        Ok Anonymous I think you might have some follow up questions to this answer although some of it you can solve with the help of google.
        1. I would import the tabel you have to a power BI report
        2. I would add a calender tabel to you power BI report
        3. I would create a connection between the date report and the in the calender tabel.

        I would make a line chart with date from the calender tabel (month-year) in x-axis, the reporte date in y-axis and the data from colum with diffrent milestones in Legend.

        I hope this will get you in right direction.

      Hi 21ksai ,

       

      You need to change the Primary Y axis -> Type to either Date or Auto.  Please try.

        Y-axis on a line chart will not accept date values.

    im really shocked to see powerbi as top BI tool surpassing tableau, with so much of limitations, while in tableau we can do so much custom work no limitation, now i really doubt the ranking of BI tools in magic quadrant chart.
