Excel Line graph possible to PBI?

Anyone knows how to make this excel graph to PBI? Everytime I place specialty on Y axis, it turns to count.

Hi @HCBD13 
Yes
you need to put a date on the X axis
numeric value on Y axis

specialty on the legend

if your table looks like on the picture (horizontal )
You need to transpose it with pq , please refer to the linked tutorial:

Hi @HCBD13 

If I understand correctly, you need to unpivot your table in Power Query.

 

In PQ:

- select the [Specialty] column

- right-click and select "Unpivot other columns"

 

In my example, I also had to convert the date.

Unpivot.pbix
